by If you went abroad hunting and are having personally hunted trophies returned in either finished or “dip and pack” form, these are not subject to the newly announced reciprocal tariffs. This is good news! However, if you bought curios made from animal parts or things like a zebra rug from an animal that you didn’t shoot, they are subject to the tariffs.
Personally, I have the trophies from my two trips to South Africa in process with taxidermists over there so it makes me very happy.
Doug Cockcroft of Splitting Image Taxidermy has more on it in the video below. I did get a chance to visit his facility last June in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The finished work was outstanding and I can’t wait to get my taxidermy from them.
