Ivory comes from tusks of elephants. It is illegal bc it discourages some of the killings of animals for the ivory.
No. In many countries including the United States, selling ivory is illegal. Also, do not export ivory. That is highly illegal too. Sorry, but the above answer is wrong. If your Asian ivory was imported before 1976 and is at least 100 years old, it is legal to buy, sell, or trade interstate. If your carved African Ivory was imported before 1989, it is legal to buy, sell, trade or export.
The ivory trade was made illegal in 1979.

It makes a difference what kind of ivory it is, where it originated, how old it is, where and when it was imported. It is important to have documentation for your ivory if you intend to sell it or travel with it. Under current US Federal Laws, you may own, buy, sell, or trade ivory that is over 100 years old within your state. Because state laws vary - buying, selling, trading, or even traveling with ivory intrastate might be illegal. International importing and/or exporting is complicated, requires complex documentation, is only legal for ivory over 100 years old, and might not be permitted with certain countries.
No its not. But consequences can be drastic.
