Consignments are generally sent by air, which is much speedier than sea freight for a marginal additional cost. Sea freight consignments can however be arranged, especially when there are sufficient trophies to fill a container.

In Namibia, all foreign hunters must hunt with a registered professional hunter, who in turn must either be registered as, or be in the employ of, a hunting outfitter. On completion of the hunt, the professional hunter will complete the hunting register, detailing all species hunted. This is then signed by the professional hunter/hunting outfitter and you, the client.
A copy of the completed hunting register is then sent to the Department of Nature Conservation for the issuing of all the necessary conservation export permits.
If Cites animals are included in your hunt, with all documentation in place, the Namibian conservation authorities will issue the necessary Cites export permits. Certain Cites animals will require a Cites import permit.
It is advisable that the you obtain the correct information from your local fish and wildlife or conservation authority regarding the correct procedures on import Cites permits. This is to avoid any confusion and disappointments. Erongo Taxidermy will however provide you with any required guidance on these issues.
With conservation, health and veterinary export documentation in place, the crate gets handed over to the shipping agent. The shipping agent will arrange for customs declaration and clearance, for dispatch to your shipping destination. You need to appoint a broker /clearing agent in your country to handle customs and clearance of your animal trophies and to generally guide you through import procedures. The shipping agent will advise you on a reputable broker /agent closest to your shipping port.
