The export of particular Inuit sculpture from Canada to other parts of the globe like the United States does have some restrictions. In order to minimize 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 special section (101) of the act was created to exclude Eskimo Inuit and other aboriginals living in the state of Alaska. Section 101 allowed Alaskan Natives to continue their traditions of hunting marine mammals for food and employing parts of such animals as raw components in the making of clothing, crafts and artwork.

The act tends to make it illegal for American citizens to import any ivory or whalebone from outdoors the United States. Therefore, American citizens would not be allowed to buy 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 makes it possible for American citizens to acquire comparable artwork from Alaska because it is component of the United States. The export of such artwork developed from marine mammals from the United States to Canada is not allowed.

Inuit sculpture containing whalebone, walrus or narwal tusks (both regarded as ivory) are restricted from import and export. Nonetheless, Inuit sculpture containing caribou antler is allowed because caribou is not a marine mammal and therefore does not fall below this act.

Exporting Inuit sculpture containing whalebone or ivory from Canada to other international destinations will depend on each and every specific country as every single has its personal particular regulations. Fines or penalties for importing or exporting illegal items can be very severe.

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 truly duty totally 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  ---
