CITES - Vigier's Rosewood and other woods used
Posted: 05 Jan 2017 10:28
Hello all,
due to the new CITES resolutions/laws, it seems it's now harder to travel/ship guitars, as they have added many new species to the list of protected matereials (i.e. rosewood), and taking effect 1st Jan 2017 if I'm correct.
I would like to ask which type (species) of rosewood do Vigier guitars have (both present and in the past), to assess if this may be subject to needing permits to cross borders.
Any expert on the subject?
In case we would have a guitar with a protected specie, do we need also CITES permits while traveling inside the EU, or just if we go/ship outside of the EU?
