Additional information: Ivory specimen of Elephantidae spp (I / A) pre-agreement, prior to June 1, 1947 in accordance with CE Regulation 338/97 of 12/09/1996 art.2-Wmc. For an exit from the EU, a CITES re-export will be necessary, this being the responsibility of the future purchaser. The issuance of such a document is not automatic. The future purchaser will have to inquire about the conditions of re-export because some countries do not allow the introduction of ivory specimens of Elephantidae on their territory.
