Probably right but I wouldn't be surprised to see the UK sooner or later go the same way as Oz when it comes to CITES I animals.

As an aside, I'd strongly advise anyone NOT to try to import raw trophies of any kind in to the UK.

The vet inspectors are a right bunch of anti hunting bastards and are also extremely paranoid about things like F&M etc..... They'll look for the slightest thing wrong such as a smudged date stamp or even not being given a full 24 hours notice of arrival and will then give the recepient the choice of returning the entire shipment back to it's country of origin so the process can start all over again at the recipient's expense or of incineration of the entire shipment.
