This is in connection to the Spanish cedar neck question.

Can I ship guitars with SC necks internationally? I read the cites site, but can't say I actually understood it, if it's raw material,lumber, finished product etc....

Spanish Cedar is on Appendix III of CITES. International import/export of wood in the form of logs, sawn wood or veneer sheets is illegal without CITES documentation. Spanish Cedar in finished products such as a finished guitar does not require CITES documentation. So you can ship finished guitars with Spanish Cedar necks internationally.

You've already got your answer, but I thought I'd confirm it. Appendix 3 and 2 woods can be shipping internationally in a finished form. Unfinished you need CITES documents.

Thanks. Government writers are like terms of service writers. Somehow they manage to take common everyday English words and strip them entirely of recognizable meaning.
