the below letter from US Fish & Wildlife Service I believe explains quite a bit concerning the new regulations, as far as they apply to US citizens

could be different in other countries? don't know
will be interesting to see how these new regulations for importers & for exporters shapes up over the coming months

good news for my first import of 2017; was in US Custom less than 6 hours then released to USPS 
just to update:
the guitar was in the USPS facility for 24 hours & released to in transit to delivery destination
a total of less than 30 hours combined between a short stay in US customs & a USPS facility = not bad at all

picked up my first Dalbergia import of the year from the Post Office early this morning
< 6 days from (EMS) posting in Japan to delivery in the US; no customs duty & no CITES issues
I am relieved to say the least
if the new CITES regulation for all genus Dalbergia is going to be an issue, it isn't an issue yet
good luck to others that import; YMMV

that is good to know & thanks for contributing to the thread
my guitar came from Rinkya; odd thing is I didn't say a word to Rinkya about the new CITES regulations & they said nothing to me concerning it
I do have another guitar in their Tokyo warehouse that needs to be shipped to me here in the US
