current status of shipping elephant tusks /ivory materials out of USA/Europe

Green · 27th June 2022, 04:40 AM

Recently one online auction withdrew an item just weeks before the auction date because they discovered that it had an ivory hilt and they did not want to go against new policy or regulation just enforced in UK.

Can anyone inform what are the procedures and current requirements to ship out of Europe/USA ivory tusks(raw) or items containing ivory legally assuming that they have CITES certificates available?

Thanks in advance for your comments and response.
