Just saw this, which might be of interest to someone:
According to cites.org, CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) works by subjecting international trade in specimens of selected species to certain controls. CITES' Appendix I put strict controls on Brazilian Rosewood while Appendix II implemented controls on other species of rosewood.
Recently CITES announced that finished musical instruments would be exempt from Appendix II, which will allow us to resume international shipping of musical instruments containing rosewood except for Brazilian.
CITES also issued another recent notification announcing the effective date of this exemption, which is now November 26, 2019.
