Customs & Packing
Check material and permits for ivory, coral and shell
Do not bring wildlife-derived crafts, jewelry or medicine when the material is uncertain.
Travel question: Check material and permits for ivory, coral and shell
CITES listing, trade bans and permit movement depend on species, source, age and countries. Ivory and coral do not all share one rule.
Why is this rule in place?
International and domestic controls overlap to prevent illegal wildlife trade.
What should travelers do?
Do not rely only on a sales receipt. Identify species and material and ask both export and Taiwan authorities before travel; leave it if permission is unclear.
