COLLECTION OF TROPHIES
PLACE OF COLLECTION:
Trophy Solutions Africa is situated in Limpopo Province and will collect trophies (seven or more), free of charge in the following provinces of South Africa:
Should there be a substantial number of trophies in another province, not mentioned above, TSA will also collect free of charge. Please contact us regarding any collection!
TIMING OF COLLECTION:
Once the client has completed his / her Safari, he / she can arrange with the Hunting Outfitter or Professional Hunter to contact us for collection of the trophies. We will then agree on a date and time to collect trophies. Alternatively, you can inform us before your Safari commences, to arrange a date and time of collection with the Outfitter. The sooner the collection can take place, the sooner the the trophies will arrive back at their new "home".
All trophies are only collected by Johan and / or Estie!
The cost for collection of Trophies is included in our prices.
CHECKING OF TROPHIES:
On collection we go through each and every trophy, together with the Outfitter, Professional Hunter or representative of the company. We ascertain ourselves that all trophies are in good order and that they are tagged properly. We do not accept responsibility for poor field preparation of trophies that can cause hair slip! This is the responsibility of the Hunting Outfitter. All trophies are recorded on a Collection Register, of which the Hunting Outfitter receives a copy after it has been signed by the responsible person.
On return to our office, a copy of the Collection Register is sent to the client to confirm all different trophy parts were collected. Processing of trophies will only commence once confirmation is received from the client.
COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTATION:
Together with the trophies, all necessary documentation is also collected. This documentation includes the following:
-
A signed copy of the PH Register (SA Professional Hunter Register and Trophy Export Application),
-
Hunting Permit (depending on the province where hunt took place),
-
CITES Import Permit into foreign Country (if applicable),
-
Nature Conservation Exemption Permit,
-
Permission to hunt,
-
TOPS Hunting Permit (New legislation recently introduced have categorized certain species as TOPS Species (Threatened Or Protected Species)).
Should an Outfitter decide to submit all the necessary documentation to Nature Conservation himself, this might delay the issuing of Export Permits. Most Outfitters are very busty throughout the peak time of the season and do not have time to deal with such issues, until end of season.
PACKING OF TROPHIES:
Once all trophies are checked, they are carefully loaded on our vehicle and closed with purpose made tarpaulins.
  
TRANSPORTATION OF TROPHIES:
All trophies are transported by TSA with utmost care and respect, but are anyway insured for ZAR 950,000.00 (± US$ 125,000.00) per load against accidents and hi-jacks, which may result in damage or loss of a trophy. |
