I think that's true of new ivory, but old pieces can be sold. Maybe that's part of the seller's need to claim "antiqueness"? There was an article in the Independent (UK newspaper) on Friday, 12 March 2004 which stated: " Only ivory dated to before 1947 can be sold under British law, but the survey by IFAW found that not a single trader they spoke to could prove the age of the ivory they were selling."
