TAGUA NUTS

Tagua nuts are from the Tagua palm, also known as ivory or ivory-nut palm. Tagua nuts are often substituted for elephant ivory because of their resemblance to elephant ivory. Most Tagua nuts measure approximately 2½" by 1½". There are no problems with USDA or USFWS importing or exporting these products. (Phytelephas aequatorialis).
