i think if you pm Via.he might know this person as he is also from singapore.many ivory cues are shipped to singapore.jforney sent to Via a capone.just don't mention on the custom form that it has ivory.also what you can do is print a shipping ticket directly thru paypal and once it is delivered they would have their records updated directly.western union is very costly and buyer might back out.IMO
I really think this says something about your character, when you tell someone else to break the law.
Are you willing to pay the penalties for a conviction and all of his court costs?

Ivory Import.export penalties include rewards for the rats:
Prohibitions and Penalties. Except for sport-hunted elephant trophies, it is illegal to: import raw ivory from any country other than an ivory producing country; export raw ivory from the U.S.; import raw or worked ivory that was exported from an ivory producing country in violation of that country's laws or of the CITES Ivory Control System; import worked ivory, other than personal effects, from any country unless that country has certified that the ivory was from legal sources; import raw or worked ivory from a country under a moratorium. Violation of these provisions is subject to criminal and civil penalties. The Secretary, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating are charged with enforcement.
Penalties collected for violations may be used to pay rewards. A person who provides information leading to a civil penalty or a criminal conviction under the Act may receive a reward of one-half of the criminal or civil penalty or $25,000, whichever is less. ?? 4223-4225
From a 1990 publication:
http://www.recyclingpoint.com.sg/Articles/1990Jan17BanIvoryTrade.htm
Singapore law restricts all import and export of ivory worked or unworked.
Singapore joined Cites in 1986 and has since introduced legislation to control illegal trading of endangered species of animals.
Action has been taken against 15 traders for violating this law — the Endangered Species (Import and Export) Act. (1990)
Under the Act, anyone who is convicted of the offence is liable to a maximum fine of not more than $5,000 or a jail term not exceeding a year or both.
So anyway you look at it, exporting to a country that has outlawed importation of any ivory is breaking international law.
In reality, the most likely penalty would be confiscation which means the buyer would not get the item and could file a for non-delivery refund with Paypal.
