Alaska Shopping
Wherever you go shopping, you'll find unique Alaskan products and crafts.
Be sure to look for the "Made in Alaska" logo, which indicates an item genuinely manufactured in Alaska. If you find a silver hand logo, it identifies the item as a Native Alaskan handicraft.
Handcrafted items, made of walrus ivory and other by-products of subsistence hunting, provide an income source for Native Alaskan artisans and a valuable investment for the buyer. Be careful though - some wildlife products cannot be transported through customs without special permits. Visitors are advised to mail these souvenirs home to avoid confusion at the border.
For specific regulations, contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at (907) 271-6198. For further customs information contact the U.S. Customs Service at 1300 Pennsylvania Ave., NW - Room 7.5 B, Washington, DC, 20229
