As a heads up if you intend to move back to the US check out the permitting required to come back in also. People I know had a very difficult time bringing their macaw back into the US, it took them a couple of years.

You may be experienced with shipping avians or mammals but reptiles aren't like that.

I know people who do it on their own without vets and chips. I know breeders who go to Germany for shows and then come back. Personally, I would contact Bob Clark, possibly NERD or one of the other big ball breeders who regularily ship overseas.

As Kevin stated, call USWF on your own. I would also check your local municipal laws where you plan to stay in Germany to ensure your animals are all legal there.
