With a bit of luck this will be the last time I have to fill out CITES paperwork. Musical instruments will be exempt from CITES II and III controls starting soon. These two years of having to comply has been an added hassle that we just don’t need so we are quite happy about it. From now on it will just be articles in Appendix I that will be problematic. I have always tried to avoid restricted wood so I will say good-bye to CITES forever.
