Does anyone know if ivory from moz can be imported into canada? Thanks Tony

Yes it can, if legally hunted and you have cites export and import permit

Cheers

That's so bizarre as Canada is not exactly land of the free.

Thanks guys I've been looking on the cites website to no avail

Since Moz ivory isn't importable into the US because of the lack of their certification by CITES, I question if it's importable into Canada who is also a signatory to CITES.

I personally know of a Canadian hunter who has imported Mozambique ivory into Canada. I believe the reason this ivory can not be imported into the U.S. is that USFW have chosen to disregard CITES with respect to Mozambique ivory.

With an AK47 on their national flag, I wonder if the US simply cant take them seriously?

I keep waiting for USF&W to change their position on this issue, but it is sure slow in coming. I understand they do not allow the ivory because they feel Moz doesn't have a responsible and effective elephant conservation plan, am I correct in that?

That's what I have read.

So, can ivory from Canada be imported into the United States?

I Know that canada is a cites member which is why I asked the question in the first place. Unfortunately I'm not sure which govt agency to get ahold of to ask the question govt agencies are quite convoluted here at least in the US you can cal usfws & possibly get the correct answer I'll keep querying & post my findings
