Not sure how the law stands on importing elephant tusk into the UK. If elephant tusk = ivory then i am sure it is not allowed but I could be wrong (I was once before ;) )

I believe its CYTES (sp) listed and an import ban is in place
MBM don’t buy it as you wont get it through customs

I think the PM was to enquire as to the Ivory side of things. We await a reply.

[MotorbikeMan]

The pm was indeed to enquire about the Ivory mentioned and I am indeed waiting a reply as we speak ;)
