After the successful hunt Important information to the Trophy preparation
and to the trophy import into your homeland We ask you to read following information
carefully and consider you exactly, because only then you can avoid problems!
I) Trophy preparation This contains boiling and the rough cleaning of the trophies
or salts and raw conserving of skins, covers and Capes. So that the trophies
may be inserted into European Union countries, they must be disinfected and
bleached beforehand with hydrogen peroxide (HŌ2) and be individually in transparent
plastics packed. Skins and skins must be salt and dried and be likewise individually
in plastic packed. II) Preparation for trophies Before the start of a journey
to Eastern European or Asiatic countries an establishment of contact with the
taxidermist is recommendable. In order to guarantee a correct preparation, you
indicate to your guide or outfitter right after hunting whether you want to
let a complete preparation or a heading shoulder assembly make. a) Of complete
preparations and skin rugs Here the cutting force should take place as in figure
1. b) Heading shoulder assembly The cutting force should be executed as in figure
2. Here it is to be made certain that the Cape is cut off for a long time enough
behind the shoulder blade. III) Trophy Import Please you always inform before
reservation of a hunt journey whether you insert the Trophies also into your
country, since each country is subject to other import restrictions. Since these
laws can constantly change, we recommend to you to leave it advised with us.
With an import in European Union member acts one must consider particularly,
which hanging toners the protection of species agreement. For animals, those
in appendix I or A are specified (e.g. leopard or elephant in some countries)
can only import with a valid CITES of the country of origin and permit to Austria,
which is procured by us or by the respective outfitter. For types of game in
appendix II the export grant of the exporting country is sufficient. IV) Trophy
dispatch After the raw preparation as well as the creation correct of the export
papers they are forwarded under normal conditions within 2 to 5 months. If CITES
should be necessary, these are procured by the respective Outfitter or by us.
When desired and against transfer of the costs, we take over gladly the whole
handling of the trophy import as well as the preparation. Still another good
advice: Particularly in Africa and North America it can occur that a native
taxidermist to let responds the hunters their trophies prepare equal in the
hunt country. We would like to advise against to you from experience to deal
with such attractive offers since you have here no warranty for quality and
delivery time. Additionally higher forwarding expenses come in addition and
with the import must the whole preparation be declared. I guess/advise you to
turn equal to my Preparatory in Austria.
