They don't apply to items made before the ban

They apply to items that guys claim were made after the ban, with preban ivory, without very clear documentation

Yep. Just no way it's worth the hassle. Same thing Ernie (Ginacue) went through a few years back.
There are decent enough Ivory substitutes, that is just isn't worth it.
 
Just an example, but how many Schons do you think are in circulation with "insignificant" amounts of ivory?

Yup, 100k in drug overdoses every year largely coming from non-existent borders and they plan a sting to nab Kenny for selling used pool cues with ivory.
