Re: Agate Go Stones
Are your rosewoos bowls subject to CITES requirements? Almost all Dalbergia (rosewood) species cannot be imported into CITES signatory countries without meeting strict requirements. There may be a risk of confiscation by the customs.

Re: Agate Go Stones
The last time I checked (somewhere around 2015), there was one rosewood that was completely banned : dalbergia nigra (Rio rosewood, or Bahia rosewood, or Brazilian rosewood). It is black and dark red and was widely used for music instruments.
Rosewoods from Madagascar are severely restricted (they are logged illegally from protected areas, and massively exported to China).
There were no restrictions on other rosewoods (kingwood, tulipwood, east indian Rosewood, etc). They are usually black and brown. When the colour is different, the name is different too (kingwood = black and purple, tulipwood = red, pink and yellow).

Re: Agate Go Stones
Things have changed since 2015. All kinds of rosewood (Dalbergia species) are now regulated.Pio2001 wrote:The last time I checked (somewhere around 2015),

Re: Agate Go Stones
Ah yes. I see that they are now in annex II. Which means that an export certificate is now mandatory.
Wow... that includes brazilian tulipwood, kingwood and all rosewoods (except "Santos" rosewood, that is not a genuine rosewood, and brazilian/rio/bahia rosewood, that is still in annex I).
By the way, I checked for shell stones (Meretrix lusoria or Tridacna gigas). They are not regulated.
