Import Tips
• Obtain a CITES permit, as walrus is listed in Appendix III in Canada, and ensure the blanks are accompanied by proof of legal harvest, such as a Canadian Marine Mammal permit
• Declare the blanks as 'walrus ivory' and provide the species name (Odobenus rosmarus) to CBSA
• Keep the blanks in their rough state; any shaping or carving may change the tariff classification
