  1. Hi, I´m an artist and designer of "dinosaur and fossil based sculptures". I have a customer from Seattle who would like to buy a sculpture from me with real Spinosaurus teeth. I buy the teeth from a shop in Spain. Is there a problem to send fossils into the US? Thanks! Timo
  2. So I'm visiting Canada(Alberta) for a while and came across this store that sold gemstones and fossils. I decided to buy a few fossils(chambered ammonites, orthoceras, trilobite elrathia kingii, Trilobite proetus) but when I got to my rental place I came to the realisation that these might be illegal to take with me back home. I'm from South Africa. Will it be a problem if I take them home with me or do I require some kind of permit to bring them with me on the flight home?
  3. I'm from Canada and was partaking in a trade with another member of the Forums, from the United States. These are shark teeth. Canada Post informed me that these are prohibited for import into the United States from Canada. For instance, their guide notes that "Mineral Products" are prohibited: https://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/PGIntDestDetails-e.asp?table=tblCountry&txtLetter=US This was a surprise to me. I know of countless Canadian businesses that ship (presumably legally) to the United States. Does it seem that the Canada Post agent (and myself) misunderstood what "Mineral Products means? I'm equally surprised because the only reference I've found to the import of fossils from Canada to the United States is, indeed, on Canada Post's site. USPS doesn't seem to reference this being illegal. United States Customs & Border Protection only seems to reference this in relation to the import of Cultural Products, whereas there doesn't appear to be a concern for "Mineral Products" per se. If anyone who has experience shipping from Canada to the United States could shed light on whether this is actually illegal or if there's some misunderstanding I'd appreciate it.
  4. Hi everyone, I am a double national from Mexico/Canada, and I travel occasionally between both countries. In my time here in Canada I have started a small fossil collection- three sliced ammonites, three cheap trilobites, a Crinoid plate, a 3.5 inch Megalodon tooth, a piece of ammolite and another gemstone. All of these are relatively small in the 1-3 inch range, with the exception of one of the sliced ammonites being 5 inches. I do not have a trip to Mexico planned solidly but I am considering going back eventually once COVID starts slowing down, and I will bring my fossil collection with me. I know and have read that I will likely have no trouble getting them into the plane in Canada as carry-on luggage save for a few inquisitive questions from airport security, but my big concern is once I arrive at Mexico. Customs in Mexico City can check your baggage on arrival before you exit the airport terminal. A few years ago on a return trip to there, I had brought a small dead branch that was curiously shaped like a hand, a customs officer picked it from my carry-on luggage and promptly destroyed it and put it in a trash bin. I have tried searching on the web for whether or not it is legal to bring fossils to Mexico, but the information is either inexistent, vague, or conflicting. I have read that it is illegal to bring them OUT, as all Mexican fossils are considered cultural heritage and thus cannot be removed from the country, but bringing them IN is my concern- would they get seized by customs, or even destroyed by a careless customs official who thinks these million-year-old dead animals or the soil they are found in are bad? Any help or knowledge on this subject would be appreciated. A thread here I previously found:

    Import of Restricted Fossils

    I'm curious about importing potentially restricted fossils and verifying provenance. I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it. Maybe someone with more experience can help me. I'll illustrate with an example. Various Caribbean nations like Cuba have banned the export of Megalodon teeth. Now, there are Cuban teeth in other collections that were obtained before that ban and exported legally. I found one in France. I spoke to the supplier, and he assures me that it's been acquired legally, from a private collection. What would I need to import that into Canada (or really any other country - I think the United States has similar)? It would be one thing if this tooth were in Cuba, and I would ask Cuba for permission and they would probably decline. In this case, the tooth is in France. Would I still talk to Cuba about this, or France, or both nations? What kind of documentation should the merchant provide me with to prove that it's been legally acquired, and what should he include with the shipment to prove to Customs that the tooth has been obtained legally? Is simply the seller's written word that it has been acquired from a private collection enough? These are complex legal questions and I've already contacted the appropriate authorities here in Canada to discuss them. Response times are slow right now, and in the meantime I would like to better understand how these things work. I won't take anything said here as legal advice - it's only for my information and I'd like to learn from your experiences navigating these laws.
  6. Greetings kind people, Hope you are having a lovely day today! After weeks of research I decided to purchase my first set of fossils. But I'm worried about the rules and regulations here. Is it illegal to buy and import fossils here? Also I remember someone telling me importing antiques and minerals to India are extremely costly. All I need to know is, if someone from India has purchased from an international website and shipped it to India. Did it arrive safe? Was it super expensive to import? Did you have to face any legal penalties? Please help! There seems to be no information anywhere on Google, no one purchasing fossils from international websites. Customs website doesn't talk about fossils either. Thank you
  7. Hey! I have kind of an odd question. I am purchasing a fossil for a friend as a birthday gift -- between a tip of a mammoth tusk, or a section of mosasaur jaw with teeth. What makes this unique, however, is that we are traveling to the British Virgin Islands (from the United States) for said birthday and I would like to be able to gift the fossil on the birthday instead of waiting until she returns home as we live in different states and I would only be able to ship it to her house and not be there. I am concerned, however, about bringing the fossils with me on the trip as I have heard nightmares about customs causing long hold ups or seizing fossils. Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks!
