Ivory cues crossing into Canada

What additional requirements apply if I am importing/exporting protected species?
If your wildlife or wildlife products involve species protected under U.S. or Canadian law, you will need to obtain permits and other authorizations in advance before you can transport them through Canada. You will also need to file a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Form 3-177 to declare your wildlife when you enter and leave the United States.
What types of wildlife require permits?
Permits may be required under U.S. or Canadian law to import or export the following types of wildlife:
* Species listed as endangered or threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (50 CFR 17)
This may help!

This sounds like something that you'd need to take Dumbo in and out of country...I'm really thinking the ivory in cues confiscation is going to far...yally said:
I live in Canada and I have transported cues across the border in my car to play tournaments. I have never even been asked about my cues let alone had my case opened in 7+ years of travelling to the US. The US customs are usually more concerned with any money I might be making while in the US and that I don't play pool for a living(then I would require a work visa and other such paper work). The Canadian side usually just asks if I bought or recieved any cigarettes or alcohol.
I have always been prepared to respond if asked that my cue was made with either plastic or moose horn, it's pretty hard to tell if it is actually ivory in a finished cue and would probably require an expert not your every day run of the mill border guard.
