CITES Certificates & Appraisals for Brazilian Rosewood Instruments

Many high-quality musical instruments contain Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia nigra), a protected tropical hardwood subject to strict international trade regulations. To legally sell, export, or own such an instrument, you need a valid CITES certificate.

This is especially relevant for guitars from major brands like Fender and Gibson, which were almost exclusively built with Brazilian Rosewood until around 1966. If you own an instrument from this period, an official appraisal and certificate is often essential.

I offer the preparation of CITES appraisals and the necessary applications for instruments containing Brazilian Rosewood. From document review to proper certification, I support you throughout the entire process, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.
