Is it legal for me to keep my elephant ivory? Notice the first FAQ question in the "Additional Questions" section: No one is going to check the movement across state borders. The rules you link to govern the sale (anywhere), and/or movement across national borders. Obviously, it would be bad to find this out at the last minute.Īnother piano website I can't find now said it's not legal to ship ivory across state lines at all, but maybe that person just misunderstood the law? posted by FencingGal to Law & Government (7 answers total) 4 users marked this as a favorite This blog writer reports that one moving company told her they will not ship pianos with ivory keys at all because of the hassle with inspections and liability. Is the serial number enough to demonstrate that? I did not read the entire 33-page document - I searched "household." It does talk about demonstrating that the ivory was removed from the wild before 1976. The US Fish and Wildlife Service site refers to exemptions for moving ivory as part of a household move, but it keeps referring to "specific conditions" without spelling out what those are. I like this piano and would like to keep it, but I don't think I like it enough to have all the keys replaced. I bought it in the 1980s, and the serial number puts its manufacture in the 1940s.
