Should you decide not to use a local taxidermist, but rather export the raw trophy internationally and have the trophy mounting completed at home after your game hunting safari, you need to make use of the “dip and pack” method.

This is a regulated process required by governmental regulations to sterilize animal parts before an export permit can be issued. This process includes submerging the capes into a low pH solution, then rinsing and drying them. The skulls and horns are sterilized. This process can only be undertaken by a licensed veterinarian and it will be certified pathogen and bacteria-free.
