Any experience with bringing trophies back from Africa?

I've finally been notified that my 4 shoulder mounts will be shipping from South Africa.  Anyone have experience with bringing them through customs in Seattle?

You can do it yourself or use an agent. I used Coppersmith.

They were recommended in the e-mail I received.  I will give them a call.

You can do it youself pretty easy

If you are not an outfitter or agent
Half the customs paper does not pertain to you
When i did it it was a little hassle but well worth it
But you have to be in touch with the the taxidermist for the chain of custody paperwork

Coppersmith will do the job but will add un necessary costs to your trip . You can do it yourself

Hope you have better luck than me.  After wait of a year and a half, three of the six animals I received where not the ones I killed.  Nothing I could do with a taxidermist on the other side of world.  I was sure I located them with some hunters from Alaska, but they weren't interested in swapping.

It would easycif you dont have warthog or bushpig which makes things more difficult
Other than that do it yourself and save some $
