If you watch any of the shows on tv about smuggling, it would be easy to have cocaine
or some other profitable drug inside the chalk. So the only way to be certain it is truly
chalk and only chalk, core samples must be taken. Guess what? If you transport a cue
into or out of the USA and it has what looks to be ivory, the same thing will happen with
your cue. There will be core samples taken to confirm if it is ivory, the type and the age.
The hall pass is to have a CITES certificate for your cue(s) but none have been issued.
Absent that, bring all your documentation for your pool cue or else leave it safe at home.
Yeah, with chalk I only lose 20 bucks or so on 4 or 5 messed up boxes, so not too bad. I'm assuming they destroy the cue if they drill into it. That would suck.
