Awesome trip! Does anyone know if you can bring antlers and frozen hide back on the plane to the US?

Yes. Get your paperwork from the New Zealand government saying what you have and getting get your US paperwork for when you cross into the states. New Zealand is a disease-free country and as long as you bring it across the right port of entry, you won’t have any problems.

I didn’t have issues bringing anything back. Hopefully you’re flying through Houston. They’re easier to work with. I cleaned everything and I’ve brought it back with me twice from NZ (antlers, horns, skull caps, frozen capes). As long as you have the paperwork completed you should be fine just clean everything really well, but this time they didn’t even inspect anything they just ran it through the X-ray took a copy of my paperwork, stamped my copy and said have a good one.

We are hunting the otc bear tag in SE Alaska with my buddy that lives in Ketchikan.

Does anyone know what paperwork we need coming from New Zealand to Houston? We are planning on using NZA so we have 3- 50 pound pieces of luggage. Only going over with 4, but have 2 large collapsible camouflage bags we can throw inside of one of our bags. We plan on bringing meat and split skulls.
I just can't find the forms that we need.

Did you get your hide and antlers back? We are going next March. Got the hotels and airlines down, but now need to find import export forms.
