Interesting decision tree (if you'll excuse...) So if your lute has no CITES woods in it, and you don't have documentation to that effect, you still lose your instrument?
I know that EU has been voracious in preventing non-EU providers from selling organs or organ pipes into EU by outlawing and licensing (at great cost). This might make sense if there were a major organ or organ pipe manufacturing concern in the EU, although to judge from the complaints I've heard, this is not the case. So exactly which EU ministers are so terribly anti-music?
