    The $93 is a per-shipment US Fish & Wildlife fee for all legal exporters of wild game product. So it's on 1 piece or on 100. Unfortunately it is passed on to the buyer- through the purchase contract, it's not a tariff "surprise" situation when the package is delivered.
    I would have to pay this before the package is even cleared to go the the regular Customs/Port-Of-Departure process.

    This only applies to wild/trapped product that requires some sort of license, so horse hair, goat, pig, cowhide, etc do not fall under the aegis of USF&W and do not require inspection (and the fee) by them.

    Scott once again my sincere thanks for explaining this. I am sure many of us this side of the pond were unaware of this additional element when we browse non UK websites. Thats a few more pennies I will have to put in the jar.

    You're welcome.

    I'm not sure how other vendors of animal products do it-

    but all bone, fur, claws, feathers, EVERYTHING is that is considered "Wild game product" is regulated/inspected this way (if it is legally exported).

    If it is not going through this process, it could technically be fined/seized.

    I can only assume that if the international customer isn't paying this fee that it is already built into the price somehow.

    Good luck!
