Importing bone items from Indonesia

[jon-]

Hi Guys,

Looking to import some carved bone items from Indonesia.

My understanding is as these are dried, non medical and decorative, POAO won't be too much of an issue, but do anyone have any experience with the process before I steamroller in?

Depending on the type of bone you may need to look at the CITIES regulations as well.

Does anyone know what official body I can contact to get this cleared up quickly? Items are just about to hit the water but I'm holding them as someone just scared me regarding bone coming into the country.
