All species of dalbergia are affected including grenadilla and cocobolo. Boxwood is not a species of dalbergia.

Basically, you cannot travel internationally with your clarinet without risking confiscation. There is a theoretical exemption, but it's not concrete, and is intentionally worded so as not to guarantee you can travel with your instrument. Actual implementation is entirely dependent upon the country where you are arriving. You could even be prosecuted. Unfortunately, this is not an exaggeration.

I posted a bunch of stuff here...

It's the one with the picture of the logs. I added more information and links in the comments for the post. Click on "comment" to see them.

The "passport" is extremely difficult to get, impossible for most people, and you must enter and exit the country only at a handfull of designated places. Documentation like receipts are not sufficient for travel or for obtaining the passport.
