Are there any shipping/courier services that still accept ivory materials such as elephant/hippo/walrus tusks that were taken before 1975 ( PRE-CITES regulation) particularly from USA/Europe to be sent to Asia ?

What are the legal ways to ship these materials from USA/Europe now?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Green,
It is a legal morass as is illustrated by the now closed discussion linked below.
I don't think there is any legal way to do this, and we don't discuss circumventing, or how to circumvent the legal aspects.
