The export of certain Inuit sculpture from Canada to other parts of the planet which includes the United States does have some restrictions. In order to reduce 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 employing parts of such animals as raw supplies 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 permitted to buy 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 permits American citizens to purchase similar artwork from Alaska since 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. Even so, 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 single certain country as each has its personal particular regulations. Fines or penalties for importing or exporting illegal items can be very extreme.

Luckily, other types 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 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  ---
