 CITES will regulate African blackwood
Author: John Morton 
Date:   2016-12-14 07:53

The wood Dalbergia melanoxylon (or African blackwood) is due to fall under CITES regulations on Jan. 2, 2017. Basically the change in regulations means that documentation for this and many other formally exempt woods will be required for crossing international borders. This is a desperate attempt to stem the traffic in endangered tree species by also regulating hundreds of other species that are similar enough to cause confusion.

This could make things difficult for those traveling with more than a small personal weight allowance. The chief benefit I see is a hypothetical CITES passport which would guarantee protection from seizure. This has been a terrifying prospect for folks facing a 19 yr. old ignorant border guard who doesn't know ivory from bone, or ebony from Bakelite. (I'm not sure I would know either.)

This is where I saw this news:
