Important Industry Update: Tariff Exemption for Hunted Trophies
We’ve got good news for our hunting community.
In light of the newly announced 30% trade tariff on goods exported from South Africa to the USA, concerns have understandably been raised across the industry.
Here’s what you need to know:
Hunted trophies are officially EXEMPT.
That’s right—sport-hunted trophies, including Dip & Pack and Taxidermy, will not attract the new tariff.
However, please take note of the following:
• Curios and stock items (purchased goods) WILL incur the 30% tariff.
• Shipping costs remain unchanged and are not affected by the tariff.
• Accurate hunting paperwork is critical—now more than ever, proper documentation ensures a smooth export process.
At New Creation Taxodermy, we remain committed to supporting our clients through every step of the hunting and export process. If you have questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Stay informed. Stay compliant. Hunt with confidence.
