A US citizen cannot import a Canadian Polar Bear Hide. The only way a US citizen can import a hide is if the person sport hunted it him self.
It is the same as with Elephant Ivory. It can only be imported when sport hunted by the hunter.
Cheetah cannot be imported into the US either.
While all three are CITES 1, the US does not allow importation of Cheetah at all.
The US thinks it is smarter than the rest of the world. Perhaps you've noticed?
