If you walk around the dealers in Hong Kong (a special administrative
region of China) they say there is no problem taking them out. This goes
from fossils to antiques. I don't think this is the law but there is no
one paying any attention to it.

I do know that Mongolia lets nothing out, from minerals on. Apparently
China is easier. However this someone just told me, I have nothing to
back it up with.

Cheers
Ryan
