Should I use a customs broker for importing my African trophies?
Yes, you should use a customs broker to clear your sport-hunted trophies into the US. Although you may attempt to clear them yourself, you may not be aware of all of the changes to import regulations and your shipment is much more likely to be opened and inspected if you are attempting to import it yourself. Plus, you will need to be there for the inspection and the storage fee clock will start running shortly after your shipment arrives.
