But, they would have in place a tried and true set of protocols for assessing the potentials of other magic systems (in particular those originating from Australia, North America, the West Indies, India, China, and possibly southern Africa).
That they do. But we see no evidence that the Ministry does so as a matter of course, contributing in large part to the "backwards" state of Wizarding Britain, as hypothesized by numerous fics.
