The export of particular Inuit sculpture from Canada to other parts of the world including the United States does have some restrictions. In order to lessen 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 unique section (101) of the act was developed 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 using components of such animals as raw supplies in the generating of clothes, crafts and artwork.

The act makes it illegal for American citizens to import any ivory or whalebone from outdoors the United States. As a result, American citizens would not be allowed to obtain any artwork containing ivory or whalebone from Canada and have it brought or shipped back to the United States. However, the act as it stands permits American citizens to buy similar artwork from Alaska because it is portion of the United States. The export of such artwork created from marine mammals from the United States to Canada is not allowed.

Inuit sculpture containing whalebone, walrus or narwal tusks (each considered ivory) are restricted from import and export. Nonetheless, Inuit sculpture containing caribou antler is permitted considering that 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 precise nation as every has its own precise regulations. Fines or penalties for importing or exporting illegal things can be really extreme.

Luckily, other forms of Inuit art such as stone or antler carvings and prints are not only in a position 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  ---
