cleaning, drying, dipping and packing not necessarily that expensive. I had the ones for my god grandson tanned in Africa as no more expensive to ship them tanned, and cost less to tan there. The only animals that cause any problems importing are pigs. The USDA gets involved with those. You do NOT need to hire a transfer agent here. If you tell the taxidermists to send it to YOU, YOU will get the papers on it, and can take them to the Customs people yourself. They then stamp them, and you go to the pick up area (where I am , a whole 50 yds away from the customs office), and picked them up myself. Had to pay $50 for some fee for bringing them to that area, but would have had to anyway. The import agents charge a whole lot of money for nothing. But if you feel safer using one, do so.
