<< Steve, when did you leave the Customs service? I believe you were the person I was mentioning. Also, any comment on what I received from Custom's Customer service? I received that this morning. >>

I left prior to the 11 September attacks.

As I recall the law originated within the US Fish & Wildlife Service. American Customs enforces thousands of laws, most of which originated from other governmental agenices.

From what I quickly read, if you want a definitive answer, contact the US Fish & Wildlife Service for chapter and verse.

I've seen a number of Americans who legally owned sealskin sporrans. The sporrans were made from "old" sealskin fur coats purchased at second-hand shops.

Slan,
