The export of specific Inuit sculpture from Canada to other parts of the planet like 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 special section (101) of the act was developed 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 using components of such animals as raw components in the producing of clothes, crafts and artwork.

The act tends to make it illegal for American citizens to import any ivory or whalebone from outside the United States. Consequently, 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. Nevertheless, the act as it stands allows American citizens to buy similar artwork from Alaska because it is part 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 (each deemed ivory) are restricted from import and export. Nevertheless, 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 depend on every precise country as every single has its own precise regulations. Fines or penalties for importing or exporting illegal things can be very serious.

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  ---
