Beautiful work sir. I see you’re in Brazil. Out of curiosity how does import/export work given that there’s ivory involved?

There is always a possibility for something goes wrong, even with mammoth ivory or walrus.
This specific one is from an old sculpture, but maker and client have to trust each other and treat things clearly, its almost a bet.
