E-mail from highland horn said:
"Shipping to Sweden is +?26 for 2 horns. The price for carriage is
the same for 4 horns ( weight range 5 - 10 kgs"

I have relatives in sweden so I was thinking to ask my relatives to order instead of me because:
"MONTEGNEGRO IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO SEND, ?50GBP FOR 7kgs FOR EXAMPLE,
BUT TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED AND WE WILL PRICE IT FOR YOU"

Bloody hell.

Horn is cheaper than shipping.

Peter Cua has asked me to post his response on ATARNet.

Peter says,

"I have regularly supplied horn strips with the proper legal paperwork to Turkey,where Cem Donmez is one of my clients. Sending horn strips is never a problem even for turkey as Cem will confirm
--------

"My clients in Europe have never had any import taxes, as a matter of fact no import taxes at all even when the product originated from the Philippines. Postage rates for horn strips are also quite reasonable and in my strips I made it one standard sending rate. No big deal as long as it is just strips; but it would be expensive to post whole horns! That's why I supply my customers with horn in strips and discourage whole horns.

"Dealing in whole horn causes much more official scrutiny because they are classed as a form of unprocessed product from cattle, unlike the strips. So dealing in processed products lessens the bureaucratic hassle and saves on postage.

"I've been dealing with these problems for a long time and I've set up my business in such a way hoping to solve these dilemmas for my clients. There is no point in raising all sorts of worries about not getting unprocessed horn from me and trying to source gemsbock horn elsewhere: sooner or later you'll hit on the same problems too somewhere.

"I assure you that my solution of dealing in processed water buffalo horn is the most cost-effective solution to your problems. I've thought of this for a long time, and with added things like thumbring sas free or bonus. and my finished strips are guaranteed, you can't find any supplier as generous as that .

Well, all we searching in net horns. Only fue of us was lucky and llive near horn seller(maybe sombody in France near CORNELY , or in Scotland near Hylland Horn Co.) .Last year i was far far avey - 1600 km in Germany - Dick) . I have same question like Amaguk + please more! Can Peter for all us from Europa first and last time clearly explain how we can pay , how much - for example if i buy more then 10 horn strips, more then 20 , or 30 horn strips- if i have chance cheeper price- and if i right understand i must pay 20 % for whole horn to our goverment , but if i buy strips dont ? What is it - one standart postage sendind rate ? How much it is ? And last problem vith quality of horn strips. Whole horn have one big advantige ! If he was good and have long full horn material section (like fue horns what i cut these days) i can cut from only one horn 2 or even 3 pairs horn strips ! And what is coriously- more of this strips are better then first concave layer , becuse he have many scrues vith shrinks and cracks. This layers have that wellknovn Korean "Tiger tile" beatifull look. What vith this ?

Paypal, is genious. I bougth some arrowheads from Mr. G. Czeba once, my bank took a 20 % fee, (and then the state of Norway took 25% VAT

). Paypal takes much less.

Peter is right, I did not live problems in custom because Peter is know legal way. He sent proper legal papers with horns. İt is very important because it is not possible to take without legal papers ,specially in big city. İn addition goverment veternarian want to show legal papers.

I recently bought some strips from Highland horn. At first sight some of them had deep cracks, but most of them yielded a usable horn strip after processing. They are quite thin, however. One should better order longer horns from the start.

Does Peter Cua have a web site now? What are his prices today? I ordered years ago from him.

Dusan, on the dick site (

) I saw they give the length of the horns with 50 cms only. You think they have longer ones too? What about the side curvature of the dick horns? Is it not a problem?

Thanks JJ

I really really REALLY need to find some horn.
