Significantly Restrict Domestic Resale of Elephant Ivory: We will finalize a proposed rule that will reaffirm and clarify that sales across state lines are prohibited, except for bona fide antiques, and will prohibit sales within a state unless the seller can demonstrate an item was lawfully imported prior to 1990 for African elephants and 1975 for Asian elephants, or under an exemption document.
"or under an exemption document. . ."
Would this be a CITES permit?
If a hunter imported a pair of elephant tusks legally following a successful hunt after 1990, would his documentation be sufficient?
Has the follow-up rule been announced? In any rulemaking there has to be a comment period. I think all should be alert to that opportunity to speak in opposition to the new rules.
