Dear Customers,
Due to the inclusion, as from 2.1.2017, of the following types of wood, Palisander (dalbergia stevensonii), rosewood (dalbergia decipularis) and grenadill (dalbergia melanoxylon) in annex II of the Washington CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) we are receiving many queries from our customers concerning the resulting documentation and verification/certification requirements. These requirements affect trade within the EU and exchange of goods beyond EU borders and are therefore relevant for instruments carried in personal possession or being sent by post.
