That provision specifies sport hunting under certain conditions, very limited conditions like when they cull the herds in S Africa mainly and you have a permit to hunt. Then you can bring them back but you better have a mountain of paperwork from the S African Govt.
People smuggle Ivory into the country all the time and only a tiny fraction is actually detected. That's why there is so much turning up all the time.
