[meteorite-list] Man Claims Rockhaven Meteorite Find

Stuart,
 
Many countries have restrictions on the exportation of meteorites that they 
sometime consider National Treasures. And some of those restrictions have 
been around for a very long time; for instance: India since the 1890s.

It is 11 years old, so not entirely accurate, for instance it does not 
mention Argentina's ban on the exportation of meteorites. But it is a starting 
point for further research.
Yes, countries have the right to create any laws they please. And yes, like 
it or not, those are Laws.

Why is an export permit required? Is there some restrictions on rocks 
there? 
I have bought gun parts from Canada with no paperwork involved.
