The sale of most ivory items is now prohibited in the United States by law. If you have inherited pieces of jewelry or luxury goods made with ivory or ivory components, you can donate them to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS). The USFWS Office of Law Enforcement’s National Wildlife Repository in Commerce City, Colorado, accepts donations of legally owned ivory products. This service is offered due to the demand from those who wish to safely and legally dispose of objects they currently own to help reduce the overall ivory market. The USFWS accepts donations of these products which are the legally owned personal property of the donor(s). This can include antique items, which can currently be sold with some restrictions, as well as those ivory items which are not antiques, but are now prohibited from commercial trade by state or federal law. The items donated are used primarily to educate the public about the ivory trade and animal conservation. The items are not returned to the commercial market. Any ivory donations should be sent via USPS, UPS, Federal Express, or other appropriate method to the Repository at the following address:

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service

National Wildlife Property Repository

6550 Gateway Road, Bldg. 128

Commerce City, CO 80022

Attn: Ivory Donations

Donations should be accompanied by a letter addressed to the Repository containing the following information: Description of the item(s) of legally-obtained ivory being donated; Name and address of the donor(s); A statement certifying that the donor(s) is/are the sole legal owner(s) of the property being donated and that by submitting such ivory to the repository they relinquish all rights to such property, without condition, to the FWS. Please note that the Repository may not accept all wildlife items. All items are subject to review first with a Wildlife Repository Specialist. You can contact them directly for guidance at [email protected] or (303) 287-2110. The cost of shipping items to the Repository, as well as insuring the value of the items during shipping (if any) is the sole responsibility of the donor, and the USFWS will not value any such donated items. For more questions, please view the USFWS website here: https://www.fws.gov/program/national-wildlife-property-repository/what-we-do. JVC is a supporter of the World Trafficking Alliance, which works to end the poaching of elephants for their ivory. As a result of conservation efforts done by the World Trafficking Alliance, poaching rates have been slowly declining over the past few years across Africa. The annual poaching mortality rate has dropped from an estimated peak of over 10 percent in 2011 to approximately 5 percent today. However, that is still at a faster rate than they can reproduce. International trade in the ivory of African elephants is prohibited under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES); the IUCN Red List classifies African savanna elephants as “Endangered” and African forest elephants as “Critically Endangered.” The IUCN Red List classifies Asian elephants as “Endangered” and they are listed in Appendix I of CITES.

Is it illegal to own whale ivory?

It is legal under federal law to buy/sell walrus and narwhal ivory possessed before the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972.

boonetrading.com - Laws - Boone Trading Company

The Laws:

There are various federal laws regulating ivory and now some states have enacted ivory laws. It is legal under federal law to buy/sell walrus and narwhal ivory possessed before the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. Alaskan natives are allowed to hunt walrus and work with the walrus ivory under an exemption of the Mammal Protection Act. Google your states ivory laws to find out more. No ivory products will be shipped to New Jersey due to their state law. No Mammoth ivory will be shipped to New York due to New York state law.

We ONLY ship Whale Teeth within Washington State.

We do not ship walrus, narwhal, hippo or whale ivory ivory outside of the United States, due to federal law, same with polar bear fur. We ship mammoth ivory everywhere in the world except India (due to their new law), if you live outside the U.S. check the law of your country to make sure it is permissible to import this ancient material. For further details on federal laws go to https://www.fws.gov. As of December 2015 buying and selling of legally imported preban elephant ivory became illegal due to voter approval of a ballot initiative I-1401 in Washington state. We sold all of our elephant ivory inventory before the law took effect in December 2015. Federal regulation changed the following year essentially ending the interstate commerce of legally imported (preban and antique) African elephant ivory.
