Elephants and USA
Which coutries can you hunt Elephant and bring back any part to the USA now? Is it Ivory only or would you be able to bring back an Elephant hair bracelet made from "your" Elephant if it was from Mozambique or Zimbabwee?

I think all parts of an elephant are banned.

But I might be wrong.

" Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.
When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move...

Man should be happy and in good humor until the day he dies...

IMHO..Elephant hair bracelets and the like are not worth the hassle while coming in/out of Africa. You can do it a hundred times but get the wrong agent just once and the can ruin your day quick.

My last trip to SA I was accompanied by a friend who had an elephant hair bracelet from an earlier safari to Tanzania...it did not go well to say the least. They took him off to the side and had him detained for quite some time...after he was released he told me he was lucky to be leaving the airport a free man.

To answer your question...No

Keep it in your packet and as much as they can make it miserable experience, they can't do much unless it is an ivory and they know it

Personally, I won't take any elephant products to Africa for fear of issues getting them back, that includes hair bracelets, wallets, rifle slings and cases, knives, etc.
