Samir, there are very strict laws about importing Brazilian Rosewood to America... If the wood is CITES certified you should be okay shipping here but
make sure any American buyer has all of their paperwork in order before shipping the oud. I would hate to see this awesome instrument get confiscated
by customs.

+1. Any potential buyer needs to research CITES and the Lacey act to make sure they are in full compliance and plan on spending a few hundred dollars
extra for proper permissions etc.

Hi Lute, You have a point, I remember the ouds wood original story, it was an old wood stock even older the 1995, probably about 1981. just a blank
but unique
so what to do with it, take it or leave it rot for ever. its shame the US customs is so restricted. but for everything there is a reason
the oud by th eway is about 950 gram, less than a kilo 
Best regards, Samir

I know, it's kind of ridiculous that instrument makers have to bear the consequences of furniture makers making executive desks and whatnot out of
exotic woods, when it's a relatively small and sustainable amount of wood.
Granted, if big manufacturers like Gibson and Martin were still using Braz. rosewood it's not an insignificant impact, but they would have likely
switched to Indian rosewood for economic reasons anyway.
I'm not sure if it's possible to import this to the US, but it might be with enough documentation and paperwork.

The chances of being stopped with the oud are exceedingly slim but customs can, and do, inspect any type of wooden objects carried into the country.
It only takes one guy to recognize what's in front of him...

Or, even if he is unsure, to demand documentation. The principle behind customs seizures is that the burden is on you to prove it's legal. Lack of
documentation is grounds for a serious fine in itself.
This is why the government is holding onto large stockpiles of Gibson's wood despite having no proof that they did anything wrong or that the wood is
illegal. Until and unless Gibson is able to prove the contrary, they aren't getting it back.
Agree it's unlikely with a hand-carried instrument, but I wouldn't take that chance.

Hi Lute, thnx
Both are french polished and the first one is very shiny because the french polish was done over 2 weeks and have had 2 coats of lacker before the
french polish.
The french polish on the last one is made in 2 days only and will add more later as french polishing allow that easy.
Best regards, Samir
