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 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 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 making use of components of such animals as raw supplies in the generating 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. As a result, 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. Nonetheless, the act as it stands makes it possible for American citizens to purchase equivalent artwork from Alaska since it is portion of the United States. The export of such artwork created from marine mammals from the United States to Canada is not permitted.

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 considering that caribou is not a marine mammal and as a result does not fall under this act.

Exporting Inuit sculpture containing whalebone or ivory from Canada to other international destinations will rely on each and every certain nation as every has its personal specific regulations. Fines or penalties for importing or exporting illegal items can be extremely extreme.

Fortunately, 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  ---
