Importing trophies into the UK

[GGC96]

Hi everyone,

After some advice -

I’m originally from Gibraltar and I would like to take my dads African trophies back to the UK with me as the big boss at home has said she’s not keeping them anymore.

Has anyone got experience with importing trophies? I’d really appreciate any help!

Hello Gary,

Try Quest Freight

From my limited experience road freight companies will no longer take taxidermy so any trophies will have to go by air which is expensive. It also means you’ll need to source an export company in Gibraltar. The export company will get your trophies to a UK airport and then Quest will sort out customs clearance and officially import to the UK. Quest can either sort an onward courier or you can collect from them.

You might have some fun with import paperwork for African species but Quest have experience of this.

Hope this helps
