I'm sorry i know nothing about what you need but there are a few here who might and they're more likely to see it in 'Guitars'.
Hover over the top right of your post and look for a cog shaped icon, hover over that and drop down to 'EDIT'. Next screen there will be a drop down box to edit the section you want it posting in, select 'Guitar' and save.
Hope that helps and best of luck with your guitars.
There are a few threads hereabouts that have more information.
seems quite well organised to me

this is very bad because are ppl, luthiers, that depending of selling instruments to pay the bills
in europe we are fine, for now, but if we need to sell outside of europe then is impossible to sell now, and we can send but is a risk and a very high risk.
i have a client waiting for a guitar in canada and this situation doest help
Not sure when the EU changed their rules but it's been the case for a few years.
I'd better look for a pre-1947 then ...
When I spoke to APHA before Christmas they said currently there are no certifications in place for import/.export licenses in UK. That was supposed to change Jan/Feb.
The problem is if you are exporting out of the EU, the destination country may require an export permit, so until the EU sorts itself out, you may be stuck.
The CITES helpline at APHA is 03000 200 301. Give them a call - they are very helpful.
Some info in this previous thread, specifically the post by DamianP

I would have thought that if you bought a job lot of raw rosewood to import from outside the EU you should be able to do it on one permit.
For raw materials I think your best bet will be to find a supplier in this country who has already imported it and handled all the permits.
