not in Europe

most couriers would simply refuse to transport too

Selling Ivory is only permitted for sale to museums in Europe so a private collector, these days , can only keep the stuff he has

Frankly speaking a lot of people I know avoid Ivory and the results of the sale show it too

a Cites certificate is NOT sufficient anymore

"...Import of ivory is prohibited, except for very narrow exemptions. It is only permitted under strict conditions for pre-1975 musical instruments, and for antiques (artefacts from before 1947) if sold to a museum..."

So, In EUROPE the only people who can import and sell any Ivory can ONLY do so if selling to a MUSEUM that is if they want to do it LEGALLY

This makes buying Ivory practically valueless for an European buyer
