Ban on import of Trophies. But can I buy a skin, or product made from deer or kudu leather

[Heym SR20]

So now that Carrie has got a ban on bringing back trophies does this mean that the likes of Nordic outdoors can no longer import Reindeer Hides for use as sleeping mats, or if I see a kudu hide pair of Courtney Boots or cartridge belt when on holiday, can I buy these and bring those back. Or indeed can I buy a fully prepared boar skin. Could I buy in France a phaesant tail nymph for fly fishing etc.

Is the ban on any wild animal product, including game meat, or just on bits of an animal you have shot yourself.

I was wondering where the line is drawn as well. You can bring back meat from the EU for example, but would bringing back a whole carcass in the fur be allowed?

Zac Goldsmith will no doubt review how effective the legislation is, I can see holders of FAC being banned from travelling abroad.

The good news is the anti hunting/shooting people will object to the release of lynx/wolves etc, we can't have killing

Not sure if we can now bring meat back thanks all the new requirements and paperwork. Well we probably can, but it would need lots of phytosanitary checks, veterinary certificates etc etc

If you cancel Brexit the free movement of goods and services within the EU would apply.
Sorry, I’m a very bad person, just couldn’t resist…

It isn't law yet. A number of people involved in African conservation (Amy Dickman, Adam Hart, Hugh Webster etc.) are fighting a rearguard action against this legislation which can only harm both conservation and rural economies.

Don't lose heart and sell your rifles lads, wait for the eventual dip and then the realisation by the mean greens, and in 10-15yrs we'll have permissions on wolves, beavers, bison, elk, lynx, mountain lions and more!

But yes, the legislation seems crazier and crazier and not very well thought out or presented.

Could you ever previously have legally brought back meat from abroad previous to Brexit?
I've read several debates on this site over the years and many different opinions on the subject including some who claim to have been in contact with the relevant ministry department. For myself I was never convinced that it was entirely legal and so was unwilling to run the risk of bringing back meat that just could introduce a disease so I never bothered.

I’m not sure it was legal, but I used to carry both meat and heads home in my luggage….until the fateful day that I ended up in Dublin, as planned, and my checked in luggage ended up in Milan.
4 days later it was returned, minus the boar meat and hide and I had to go and reclaim it from a not very impressed customs officer ( it did hum a bit).
I’ve no idea what happened to the meat and hide and to be honest I didn’t feel up to pushing the issue, sleeping dogs and all that.

And what really is the harm in that. Home and Foreign office are now pushing for free movement with the Indian subcontinent.

And we now have a hard border with lots and lots of checks of goods - which are all currently produced to the same standards on both sides - that achieves absolutely the square root of completely and utterly feck all, other than just hindering and slowing up movement of goods and wrecking our economy.

At least you now qualify for a duty free allowance whenever you're let go visit somewhere else, so its not all doom and gloom.
