And to angle the sides of the neck will also involve making the neck thinner, meaning a sloppier fit (unless you then use veneer on the side of the rout to fill in the gap).
At less than a mm I'd live with it, although I know some people couldn't. But in that case I think it would be technically easier to remove the frets, re-radius the board so it's level and then re-fret the board.
If he has, they will certainly have rosewood boards, and will be lacking CITES documentation, so can't be sold outside of Australia.
