Bureaucratic hyperbole has the unfortunate effect of making people overly cautious and even scared. If the truth be told, Customs at most major ports of entry couldn't tell the difference between mahogany and Braz, tortoiseshell and plastic. Now, if you were to come in on Air Colombia with a live snow leopard with a couple of kees of blow strapped to its back they may, may take notice. Wasn't it Father Guido Sarducci on the SNL of old being waived through Customs with a bag full of white powder? Upshot: don't be too concerned travelling with your Braz/tortoise/ivory.
I can tell you for a fact that they will nail you for any tortoise shell jewelery. Been there -- done that. Won't go there again. |
