History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 459420-20 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The ivory trade has been a part of human history for thousands of years, with evidence of ivory carvings dating back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt and China. In the 19th century, the ivory trade boomed with the colonization of Africa and the exploitation of its elephant populations. The demand for ivory grew as it became a symbol of wealth and status, leading to the near-extinction of several elephant species. In the 20th century, international efforts were made to regulate the ivory trade, culminating in the 1989 ban on the international trade of ivory. In recent years, the illegal ivory trade has continued to thrive, with poaching and trafficking posing a significant threat to elephant populations. In the United States, the sale of ivory has been heavily regulated since the 1970s, with a near-total ban on the commercial trade of ivory implemented in 2016.
