Hope some fellow Aussies can help out here.
Looking to have a custom Uke made for me overseas and posted to Australia. Potentially has fossilised (Mastodon/Mammoth) Ivory as some part of the inlay.
I have just spoken with the Australian CITES Management Authority who confirm that it is legal to import it without a permit (and are sending me an email to that effect) BUT the customs team could seize it if they think it is modern ivory until confirmed otherwise...
So has any Australian here had an import issue from OS for potentially "protected" or CITES listed species with their Ukulele?
Thanks
