I'll predict you're going to get scammed.
When they ship the snakes over to here, it's usually bags of 10, in lots numbers up into the thousands. You don't get a bag of ten shipped from Ghana, they export really large lots of right out of the egg hatchlings. They've usually never fed, and anything that's unusual(morphs, etc) is held back for more money from the established buyers.
So you would see dinkers and normals, perhaps the odd yellowbelly type thing maybe. The things like albinos, leutictics, deserts and such, those are not in the regular import bins. The folks over there are well versed in morphs and know what they're worth and who will give them top dollar.
They do ship some gravid balls, I think they aren't supposed to, but I see them advertised. As far as the fees and permits, you're probably looking at a LOT of cash, plus you'd have to consider the pay-offs to the various folks producing the snakes since they already have folks to sell to, they normally figure you should pay them for the contact info too.
If I wanted some imported babies for some reason, I'd just go to one of the guys who does import them already and order up however many bags of hatchlings when they get a shipment. I know that BallRoom Pythons South usually gets some imports in. Not certain who else. It'd be way too much time, effort and money for me to establish a connection to get all the permits and such just to do something other people are already doing.
