Import Tips
• Secure a CITES export permit from the country of origin and a Canadian CITES import permit before shipping, as elephant ivory is strictly controlled
• Ensure the tusks are accompanied by a certificate of origin and age to prove they are pre-Convention or from a legal source
• Be prepared for CBSA inspection, including possible DNA testing to confirm the elephant species and provenance
