Please note the following information from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service:
African elephant sport-hunted trophies may be imported into the United States provided: the trophy was legally taken in an African elephant range country that declared an ivory export quota to the CITIES Secretariat for the year in which the trophy animal was killed.
The USF&W has revised its procedure for assessing applications to import elephant hunting trophies. They intend to make findings for elephant trophy imports on an application – by – application basis.
All of the following applies:
• A determination is made that the killing of the trophy animal will enhance the survival of the species and the trophy is accompanied by a threatened species permit issued under section 17.32
• The trophy is legally marked in accordance with 50 CFR part 23.
• The requirements in 50 CFR part 13: General Permit Procedures, 14: Importation, Exportation, and Transportation of Wildlife, and 23: CITIES Regulations have been met.
• No more than two African elephant sport-hunted trophies are imported by any hunter in a calendar year.
Hunters are required to provide information to support a USF&W finding that their activities enhance or benefit wild populations of the species involved, population status or trend, how trophy or license fees are used by either the landowner, local community or government and other funding activities that are being carried out, by the safari outfitter, professional hunter, concession holder or landowner that provide a conservation benefit to the species being hunted.
Restless Africa Safaris has provided assurance that all of the requirements for importation into the United States can be met.
Restless Africa Safaris has been a strong supporter for a number of years. They have a strong reputation for providing quality safari experiences.
