Hello,

maybe you can try to import antique ivory via Canada?

As far as i know there is an open border between the USA and Canada.

Thank you for your comments

I have decided to give up on this knife, as best I can tell I would need to get a lawyer involved.

Our Glorious Leader recently banned all ivory imports.

Enough people, musicians &c, objected strongly so that the ban was modified to permit, supposedly, antiques to be imported.

Nevertheless there is, at this time, no functional procedure to do so in our the Fish & Wildlife Service website. Hence need for a Lawyer, which just is not worth it.

If anyone in the USA actually succeds in importing an antique ivory piece, legally, in accordance with our current laws, I sure would be interested in his experience.
