Where would I find if there are any restrictions on importing antlers, cow Skull/horns, etc ?

Not endangered species, just good old cow horns..... Texas long horns..... skull and horns attached.

Anybody got any information on this?

Thanks

I can't imagine there would be a problem WW. They even sell antlers in PetSmart for dog chew toys. Certainly not endangered.

Are these for a decorative purpose?

Animal products are prohibited, are these animal products? Probably.

Ask them 8096875131

You do know how much of a headache it will be getting them to comprehend why............ Especially when you can buy a plastic one from Plaza Lama much cheaper.

I agree, but like I said, getting THEM to understand that (for the cost) will be difficult. Well, at the first point of call anyway.

Ask a guy with a pet shop to fly one in with his next load of doggy treats.

I just asked Troy, a buddy who imports his horse stuff. He said he doubts it would be an issue as there are loads of stuff that are imported for the home made from Horn and bone etc. Decor stuff, and come to think about it he's right.

The only issue I EVER had was at customs with a hand grenade and bullet belt in my hand luggage. I'd just stuff it in a box and send it. Find a sticker that says 'made of plastic in china' on it.

I get it HUG... faux horns... fake plastic

like shipping leather goods as fake Naugahyde

seriously, thanks for asking your friend - I too expect few problems.

I'll bury it in a bigger shipment.

My friend got a serious investigation at the airport in PHL one time.... a spent shotgun shell in his pocket really got security heated up

he is a serious 'sustainable' farmer..... farm to fork guy

he speaks all over Canada on the subject.... a UWO MBA who gave up tobacco farming years ago when he saw the writing on the wall

T'burg wrote him off at the time... heretic, lunatic.... guess where tobacco is today and where he is.

Yup, his cows we eat.... Texas Longhorns
