The export of particular Inuit sculpture from Canada to other components of the planet like 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 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 utilizing parts of such animals as raw supplies in the making of clothes, crafts and artwork.

The act tends to make it illegal for American citizens to import any ivory or whalebone from outdoors the United States. Consequently, 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. Nevertheless, the act as it stands allows American citizens to acquire comparable artwork from Alaska because it is element of the United States. The export of such artwork designed from marine mammals from the United States to Canada is not allowed.

Inuit sculpture containing whalebone, walrus or narwal tusks (each thought of ivory) are restricted from import and export. Even so, Inuit sculpture containing caribou antler is permitted because caribou is not a marine mammal and therefore does not fall beneath this act.

Exporting Inuit sculpture containing whalebone or ivory from Canada to other international destinations will depend on every specific country as every has its personal precise regulations. Fines or penalties for importing or exporting illegal products can be really serious.

Thankfully, other forms of Inuit art such as stone or antler carvings and prints are not only capable to be exported across the border, but are really 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  ---
