Keep your documentation/paperwork on the purchase - or make and keep copies if e-commerce. May never need it but goes a long way to show "no harm intent" if questioned by some official. This is a must with ivory and appears to be getting that way with several endangered wood species as well. Most old cut material is exempted if proper documentation is available.
