<p>Hunting trophies are generally imported directly from the source country. However,
there are occasions when hunting trophies are exported via another country. An example
would be when specialist taxidermy services may not be available in the source country
where the trophy was hunted.</p><p> </p><p>Imports from countries which are not the
source country of the hunting trophy remain subject to the same requirements to secure
a permit under the EU Wildlife Trade Regulations, which are directly applicable in
the UK and will become Retained EU Law in the UK after we leave the EU. All applications
for permits to import hunting trophies into the UK are assessed to make sure that
the import would not have a harmful effect on the conservation status of the species
or on the extent of the territory occupied by the relevant population of the species.
Import suspensions are in place for countries where hunting of certain species is
considered unsustainable.</p>
