The export of certain Inuit sculpture from Canada to other components of the world including the United States does have some restrictions. In order to decrease harvesting of marine animals such as whales and walruses, the United States Congress passed the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972. It was later modified in 1981 and a particular section (101) of the act was created to exclude Eskimo Inuit and other aboriginals living in the state of Alaska. Section 101 permitted Alaskan Natives to continue their traditions of hunting marine mammals for food and employing parts of such animals as raw materials in the creating of clothes, crafts and artwork.

The act makes it illegal for American citizens to import any ivory or whalebone from outside the United States. Therefore, American citizens would not be permitted to obtain any artwork containing ivory or whalebone from Canada and have it brought or shipped back to the United States. Even so, the act as it stands makes it possible for American citizens to buy comparable artwork from Alaska considering that it is component of the United States. The export of such artwork produced from marine mammals from the United States to Canada is not permitted.

Inuit sculpture containing whalebone, walrus or narwal tusks (each considered ivory) are restricted from import and export. Nonetheless, Inuit sculpture containing caribou antler is allowed since caribou is not a marine mammal and for that reason does not fall beneath this act.

Exporting Inuit sculpture containing whalebone or ivory from Canada to other international destinations will rely on every single specific nation as each and every has its own particular regulations. Fines or penalties for importing or exporting illegal products can be very extreme.

Fortunately, other forms of Inuit art such as stone or antler carvings and prints are not only able to be exported across the border, but are in fact duty cost-free. --- Bloco de notas --- Não é possível encontrar "csv" --- OK  --- --- Bloco de notas --- Não é possível encontrar "csv" --- OK  --- --- Bloco de notas --- Não é possível encontrar "csv" --- OK  ---
