The export of certain Inuit sculpture from Canada to other components of the planet which includes the United States does have some restrictions. In order to lessen harvesting of marine animals such as whales and walruses, the United States Congress passed the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972. It was later modified in 1981 and a special section (101) of the act was developed to exclude Eskimo Inuit and other aboriginals living in the state of Alaska. Section 101 allowed Alaskan Natives to continue their traditions of hunting marine mammals for food and using parts of such animals as raw components in the creating of clothing, crafts and artwork.

The act tends to make it illegal for American citizens to import any ivory or whalebone from outside the United States. For that reason, American citizens would not be permitted to obtain any artwork containing ivory or whalebone from Canada and have it brought or shipped back to the United States. Nevertheless, the act as it stands enables American citizens to acquire comparable artwork from Alaska since it is component of the United States. The export of such artwork developed from marine mammals from the United States to Canada is not allowed.

Inuit sculpture containing whalebone, walrus or narwal tusks (each thought of ivory) are restricted from import and export. Even so, Inuit sculpture containing caribou antler is allowed since caribou is not a marine mammal and as a result does not fall under this act.

Exporting Inuit sculpture containing whalebone or ivory from Canada to other international destinations will depend on each precise country as each and every has its own particular regulations. Fines or penalties for importing or exporting illegal things can be extremely extreme.

Luckily, other forms of Inuit art such as stone or antler carvings and prints are not only able to be exported across the border, but are actually duty totally free.
