this is such a fascinating Q! I have to admit I really don't know, but I believe the antiquity of the item will make it legal as it does for antique(pre-ban) elephant ivory. good luck!....Edit-I see lots of replicas for sale online. you might describe yours as a replica--who can tell the difference?

It has shrunk because you're brain has so many stupid questions inside it that you are not bothering to ask. In the night you're brain finally exploded and since you now have no brain you're head has shrunk to the size of a pea since there's no point in having a big head without a brain. Cancel the wedding or get someone else to be the best man.

I don't know about transporting human remains across the border when they are LONG dead. I do know that you need to have a death certificate and if you are travelling with the corpse you have to have the papers signed by a coroner at each stop to verify that it is who you say it is. You could call the mortician and see if he knows anything about this.

Interesting family heirloom. But they're not real crazy in Hawaii about the japanese practice of head shrinking.

If it is illegal to bring in then it is illegal to bring in.
You have a choice: leave it behind, decide not to enter Hawaii with the head, or try to smuggle it in.
I wouldn't recommend the third option, by the way.

Put it in a safety deposit box in Peru. No one'll take it!

As a family heirloom it can go with you. It is grandfathered.
