An interesting tidbit on the BBC ANTIQUES ROADSHOW FAQ page:
Can I bring ivory to Antiques Roadshow?
At the end of 2018, the UK government’s Ivory Bill gained Royal Assent to become law.
Further information on the detail and scope of the legislation can be found here:

Please note that Antiques Roadshow no longer values items of antique elephant ivory.
However, our experts may be able to examine your items and offer guidance about the new legislation.
That takes care of the broad swath of world antiques, from the Viking period chess figures, to middle ages decorative objects, to 19th century musical instruments, to the 20th century jewelry.
