Currently NO elephants can be imported. It could be some time before approval is granted for an import of either species.

Yes, but that is something I only discovered quite recently- I'd always assumed they didn't though I don't know why. I've always associated it just with Asians- probably because of the closer human/elephant contact in that species and the frequent stories of Asian bulls in musth becoming dangerous etc.
