European countries ban seal products

[Dirka Skene]

I wonder if you can buy seal in the USA like you can buy Absinthe. Absinthe cannot be bought within the USA, but you can buy it by having your credit card ran in the country of the seller and then have it brought to the USA by private courrier. Can you do the same thing with seal?

Don't think so. There is as far as I know a general import-no on sealskin products, regardless of how they are brought into the country, like Cuban products (yes, I gambled and was generously offered to donate 50 Cuban cigars to the US customs a few years ago... )

But from what I understand, in the US although it is illegal to import and possibly to sell cuban cigars, it is legal to own them. How many US Presidents have been photographed enjoying one? JFK & Clinton as I recall.

Perhaps the same is true for sealskin sporrans.
