The Cultural Property Export and Import Act came into force on September 6,
1977.
So any meteorites exported before this date are clear of this law.
Re: Bruderheim, Piece River, etc...

Again, here is the Canadian Heritage site for ALL the info regarding this.

Oh, so then what about all these other Canadian mets that I have seen (some
of them quite regularly) on ebay without export permits? Tagish Lake,
Bruderheim, Piece River, etc.. My little Tagish Lake fragment didn't come
with one, and I think ordered it from the US.

Unclassified meteorites are like a box of chocolates... you never know what
you're gonna get!

Canadian meteorites need export permits, period.
Including temporary export for research.
