Can I sell a rhino horn carving?
<p>Suppose that a son inherits a rhino horn carving from his father. Assuming that the father acquired the horn without violating any laws that were in force at the time it was acquired.</p>
<p>Can the son legally sell the horn?</p>

<p>Rhino horn <a href="https://www.fws.gov/international/pdf/factsheet-can-i-sell-it.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cannot</a> be sold across state lines:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Rhino horn:</strong> Generally cannot be sold in
interstate or international commerce.
Consult the Service for limited
exceptions. Import or export requires
a permit. Sale of items within a State
allowed unless restricted by “use
after import” limitations associated
with items imported after the listing
of the species under CITES or unless
prohibited under State law.</p>
