As will any taxidermist who deals with international clients.

I have bought back trophies from Africa, Australia and Canada. All taxidermy work done in the countries of origin however.. All NZ were interested in was a certificate from the taxidermist stating what process the tanning process was and chemicals used.
Obviously if any of the species could/or are cities related you need the correct paperwork. Otherwise I have not found any issues.
From a freighting perspective if you are flying something completed that has been mounted I usually select removable horns or antlers to reduce the size.
