Ivory rules are very complex these days and often do not follow common sense. It is very important to know the rules for where you live and the rules that apply should an item have to cross a border (search CITES). (Similarly the seller must know the rules unless they wish to court Trouble).

Living as I do in New York State, USA, if not impossible to legally receive, the hassles and costs for buying and receiving such an item would surely outweigh the pleasures of acquisition.
