[Sca-cooks] ambergris

[Johnna Holloway]

I hadn't paid any attention to this thread but yes I think you are right.
It says here:
"Ambergris falls under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and is 
illegal to import in the U.S.A."

It's the same law that makes importing whalebone examples illegal too.
