Well it looks like the Cites rules pertaining to shipping any instrument with a rosewood fingerboard, will prevent me shipping anything outside of Canada. Going to have to limit this to a sale or trade writhin Canada any fellow Canucks out there interested, hit me up for trade offers. I would trade for a nice acoustic as well. |

This whole CITES thing seems to be very confusing... what have you found out about shipping over your border that specifically stops you from selling to The U.S., or further? I thought that as long as you can prove the build date, and it was before the CITES restriction date, it would be OK to ship. |

From reading the "Frequently Asked Questions" section on the US Cites website, it's pretty clear that shipping a bass internationally is not allowed unless a full CITES certificate has been obtained. This is a laborious process that takes months to complete and you have to have documentation to prove specifics about the insturment. This can be hard to do for a older instrument. If I was to carry the bass into the US and use it to gig or jam with friends, there is no issue. I can even buy a bass in the US and take it back with me to Canada and not have any issues other then Canadian duties and taxes, but it's when you try and ship an instrument across e border that it becomes an issue. There is zero recourse once the instrument is seized. US Customs does not have to prove anything. The onus is on the owner to have all required paperwork. There can also be hefty fines and possibly criminal charges involved as well. Their website's FAQ section is quite well done as it asks questions pertaining to individual instruments. I know I can't risk having a bass seized and not ever being able to get it back. Sure takes the fun out of trading and buying used basses from my American fellow forum members I have to say. |

Hi fellow lefty-and-Canuck brother Crabby, I sent an email to CITES Canada today trying to find out at least how the form look like and how much would it possibly cost. I'll share with you - and all our True North brothers - once I get an answer. We know that it is unlikely that US Customs would bug you or me for crossing the border with a personal item that is CITES-listed but some 3rd party sites would go above and beyond that and state that you should get a 'passport' for your treasured rosewood-fingerboarded preciosity ![]() Let's see if I can get an answer sometime soon. |
