The problem with that idea is that organized crimes and lords of war can then export those trophies through custom pretending this is from legal hunting. Better to just forbid it, then when customs catch ivory they know what to do.
But isn't that the rationale behind Trump's immigration laws regarding Islam-dominated countries? A few terrorists will slip through, so it's better to ban the whole lot. Personally, I think it best to improve and reinforce the screening system than to force some absolute on the country which has the potential to cause a lot more harm than it prevents. The reserves suffer the most from trophy-hunting bans.
