As every sportsman, who hunts outside his/her own country knows, the final chapter of an adventure is the receipt of those hard-sought-after trophies.  The process of acquiring those trophies requires the thorough and accurate completion of a lot of complicated import/export permits, for which the requirments seem to change on a weekly basis.  This very complex process then requires a truly, professional shipping company that stays breast of all the laws that govern said exports/imports.  As for me, I have dealt with Oxi Logitics (Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa; for several years, involving the trans-oceanic shipment of over a ton of my African trophies, many of which require special permits and processing.  In collaboration with their company's U.S. receiving agent(s), Oci Logistic's professionals and their collaborators have labored flawslessly to insure that "no stone was unturned", thereby assuring that my trophies would assuredly be cleared through U.S. Customs and also through several other federal agencies that have jurisdiction over such matters.

The fact that every day, here in the UNited States, trophies from foreign countries are being confiscated bu the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or U.S. Customs due to "minor clerical errors" committed not by the American sportsman, but by someone in the chain of people involved in a hunt (Safari company personnel, Professional Hunter, etc.) to those handling the paperwork and permitting issues to the taxidermist and finally the shipping and receing agent(s).  It follows then that the final responsibility to make sure that all paperwork for a trophy shipment is correct, current and in order lies in the hands of the shipping company and its agents.  For me, Oxi Logistics has proven on numerous occasions that they are one company that can be relied upon to do it right and I can honestly recommend them to anyone without reservation(s).
