Hi, I have bid ivory items and weapons with ivory parts many times from different auction houses from UK and if shipped inside EU they wont need any permits.Never have any problems, usually have used Mailboxes. I live in Finland.
Regards, Tapani

Thanks Tapani for the info. I've in fact never had any problem getting my items from UK before and as recently as three months ago Mailbox etc shipped my items but not this time for some reason.

I would ask the big auction houses/Museums/dealers for advise, as thay must know. Maybe I would try the museums first, as they dont have any money involved.
