I suspect the concern about CITES is overblown. In the last 12 months I've imported 4 guitars with rosewood content from the US into Aust without any problems. Two were directly from a dealer and two were from a friend who found guitars for me as requested.

Apologies for the above post, looks like things in the US have tightened up.
Last night I ordered another with rosewood and this morning I had an email from Chicago Music Exchange saying sorry but they won't send to Australia because of CITES. I haven't given up, still talking about options with them but no longer as easy as it was as recently as last February.

They can probably send them, but an individual item has as much paperwork as a container load and the same cost to process. They can obviously pass the cost on to you, but it would take them so much time that it just wouldn't be worth their while.

I suspect you are correct. The two they previous sent (since CITES introduction) were upmarket big dollar, this one isn't.
