Last updated: July 2026 dataWorked ivory and articles thereof face some of the most stringent import controls of any traded commodity, governed by CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), US Fish & Wildlife Service permitting, and the Endangered Species Act. Commercial importation of elephant ivory is effectively prohibited under US law, and even antique ivory (over 100 years old) requires documentation establishing age and legal provenance. The single tariff line 9601100000 covers all worked ivory articles; classification here triggers mandatory USFWS permit review regardless of the ivory's claimed age or origin.

Commercial importation of elephant ivory is effectively banned under US regulations implementing the Endangered Species Act and CITES. Very narrow exceptions exist for antique ivory (documented as over 100 years old and not substantially altered since 1973) and certain sport-hunted trophies, each requiring specific USFWS permits. Importers should consult legal counsel and USFWS before attempting any ivory importation.
CBP may refer suspect articles to USFWS for forensic species identification, which can include DNA analysis or examination of the material's structural characteristics (Schreger lines visible in cross-section are diagnostic of elephant ivory). Misrepresenting a prohibited ivory article as a legal substitute material constitutes a violation of both customs and wildlife laws, carrying significant civil and criminal penalties.
