Import broker in Dallas

[Willie_P]

Looking to the GS for advice. Can anyone recommend any good clearing agents/import brokers in Dallas?
My African animals are ready to be shipped to me and I have never had to use one.
I don't have a chance to get on here very often so thanks in advance guys and gals.

Contact the guys at RIM Logistics in Grapevine. They do mainly international freight and can take care of it all for you.

Thanks for the help. I'll check them out. Exporter just sent back a recommendation for Coppersmith also.

I used Coppersmith last time. Was fine, but my Taxidermist also does it. You can check out Flagg Group taxidermy. They are in Dallas. If you have a Warthog or Baboon it is likely they will be the ones doing the secondary dip anyways. Give em call. Can't hurt. I will be using them once my African stuff is ready to ship, but they do my taxi work as well so it is very convenient. I don't know what they charge, but they told me it was free if they do my taxi work. The way I figure, last time I paid Coppersmith and paid Flagg for my taxi work. This time I will save the Coppersmith money and just pay my taxi work.

Another vote for Coppersmith they were excellent to deal with

If you have the time and a little patience, you can clear them yourself. It isn't that difficult. Takes about 45 min to an hour.

If you don't want to do that, your taxidermist usually does it at no charge if they do the mounts. Coppersmith, Flagg Group, Artistic Taxidermy out of Lewisville, Alpine Taxidermy those are all I know that do the clearing.

Below is who I am using at the recommendation of my safari consultant. I am in Wyoming and they are in California. Not sure it matters if the import broker is local to where you live or not.
