Be
sure to look for the “Made in Alaska” logo, which indicates an item
genuinely manufactured in Alaska. If you find a silver hand logo, it identifies
the item as a Native Alaskan handicraft.
Handcrafted items, made of walrus
ivory and other by-products of subsistence hunting, provide an income source

though – some wildlife products cannot be transported through customs
without special permits. Visitors are advised to mail these souvenirs home to
avoid confusion at the border.
For specific regulations, contact
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at (907) 271-6198. For
further customs information contact the U.S. Customs Service at 1300
