Just saw this over at MLP.

Musical Instruments To Be Exempt From Restrictions On Heavily Trafficked Rosewood

Hasn't actually happened yet, good news if it does come to pass.

I wonder if the scarcer species will be exempted. We'll have to wait and see.

Yes, I was afraid Charles Foster Kane's last word(s) would have to be changed to Pau Ferro. Oh wait, that was rosebud...

Update to the NPR article: Update: The CITES convention officially adopted the musical instruments exemption on Wednesday.

Hopefully they'll sort out the fine details soon. I know there are different classification categories depending on how scarce.

From NAMM's website: CITES Policy Updates

Brazilian rosewood won't be exempted. I can understand that, but what happens when you're traveling and are asked to prove that your rosewood fingerboard isn't Brazilian?

Does it depend on whether you have an accent?  :sad:

We all know what happens next...just can't write it... ;)

Essentially, one is still at the mercy - or lack thereof - of any border agent/customs officer UNLESS they dish out $85 and fill out a migraine of paperwork to get a passport for their instrument.

The impression I have, is that they don't bother unless you are a company. I recently bought another 60's gibson bass (maho/rosewood neck) and did'nt fill out anything. There seems to be no automatic customs procedure to pick out and look at guitars/parts, like they do when you try to order a gallon of cellulose paint..
