I haven't heard back from the TRAFFIC people yet, but I did find some very very rough import numbers. I don't know where we originally mentioned importation down in that maze below, so I thought I'd post it here instead. Dunno if these will help anything, but it might be better than nothing --
From US FWS:
1970-1995 -- 17,000 burms imported to the US
1996-2006 -- 99,000 burms imported to the US
