THERE ARE 116 TONNES WITHOUT SUPPORT OF PREVIOUS CITES PAPERS. THESE MAY NOT BE EXPORTED OUT OF HONG KONG. THEY COMPRISE 46 TONNES OF WORKED IVORY AND 70 TONNES OF RAW IVORY.
5. TOTAL IVORY STOCKS IN HONG KONG ARE LESS THAN ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED. OUR ORIGINAL FIGURE, 670 TONNES, COMPRISING TUSKS, WORKED IVORY AND SCRAPS SEEMS TO BE REASONABLY ACCURATE AS REGARDS TUSKS AND WORKED IVORY, BUT RATHER HIGHER AS REGARDS SCRAPS. WE DO NOT HAVE THE BREAKDOWN WITHIN THE TIME AVAILABLE BUT WILL PROVIDE
THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
