Practical information for Romania

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING RELEVANT DOCUMENTS LIKE:
Passport, Weapon permit, EU Firearm Passport, Firearm Certificate and Hunting Licence

TRANSPORTATION OF WEAPONS IN AEROPLANES:
Sharp implements such as knives, scissors, etc. are not allowed in your hand luggage, neither are scopes. Please also be aware that your rifle should be transported in a lockable hard case and checked-in separately, and that bolt and ammunition (also in a locked separate case with each cartridge in its own compartment, like packed from the factory) should be transported in the ordinary luggage, which is checked-in, i.e. never in the hand luggage.

Before checking in, please approach Customs or the Police with your weapon and weapon permit to make official clearance.

Some of the Airline companies demand a fee (between € 40-60) for bringing weapons on board. The fee has to be paid each way and applies per weapon in a weapon suitcase below 1.40 m and 15 kg. (The fee must be paid on check-in). A maximum of 20 kg luggage per person is allowed INCL. the weapon case, as well as 5 kg hand baggage. If this weight is exceeded a surcharge must be paid upon check-in.

SHIPMENT OF TROPHIES TO HOME COUNTRY:
Under normal circumstances all hunters can take their trophies home right away, provided that they have been properly packed for the flight. But you have to count in enough time for measuring of the trophy, which takes place 24 hours after boiling. Should it happen that a hunter shortly before leaving the district shoots a piece of game and there is not enough time left for boiling/measuring, this trophy can be shipped later by normal shipping agent to your address. You can agree and pay for this directly before you leave.

HUNTING PROTOCOL:
After the hunt the area and hunter must sign a protocol stating what has been shot and also possible comments about the hunting, accommodation and any possible claim the hunter may have. It is difficult, if not impossible, to deal with claims that are not mentioned in the protocol and that are brought up after the hunter is home. 

INSURANCE:
Please note that our travel and cancellation insurance also includes hunting liability. Since a hunting liability insurance is required for travel in Europe, you must have such an insurance. We assume that you have a valid hunting licence, which is a condition for you being covered by the insurance. Please see the enclosed brochure. If you have to cancel, you will receive an I.O.U. for the price of the trip.

CURRENCY:
Romania is part of the EU, but still has own currency the Lei. 100 EUR = ca. 430 Lei (dec.2010).

EMERGENCY TELEPHONE:
LIMPOPO/DIANA has established an emergency telephone service, whereby our clients can reach us 24 hours a day - 7 days a week - and talk to a competent member of our staff. We would like to stress that this service is intended for emergency calls only, where contact with LIMPOPO/DIANA or a next of kind is vital. Please feel free to use this line, when absolutely necessary, but please also avoid any unnecessary calls - ++45 30 26 25 40.

PHOTOS:
From our hunters we are very interested in receiving photos, which possibly can be used in connection with offers and our annual catalogue appearing at the end of the year. We would very much like to receive the photos as soon as possible after your return. If your pictures are used in the catalogue, you will receive € 50,-. The amount will be credited your LIMPOPO/DIANA account and may be used on your next trip.

Please note the importance of where the picture is taken, which means that it is best photographing for example the shot stag in the nature and not in front of a house, a Landrover, a fence etc.

RETURN HOME:
We always appreciate hearing from you after your return home. It is of the utmost importance for us to know, what happens "out there". This is the only way, we can develop and possibly improve our hunting tours. Therefore - whether you wish to praise or criticise - please let us hear from you!

We hope, the above answers most of the questions which you naturally have before the trip. Should you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
