In the case of antiques, processed specimens acquired prior to the entry into force of the Regulation, i.e. before June 1, 1947, would be exempted from the prohibition indicated in the previous paragraphs. The competent authorities indicate that no CITES certificate is required in this case. All our lots of old ivories are accompanied by a Certificate of Guarantee of Origin prior to 1947. There are a number of exceptions to this prohibition, provided that it can be reliably demonstrated that the specimens have been acquired or introduced in Spain before January 1, 1986. At present, in Spain, ivory pieces cannot be sold without CITES documentation, except as indicated above.
