Madeira sells only legally validated and permitted genuine Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) treaty in compliance with strict regulations of U.S. government agencies (Department of Homeland Security/Customs and Border Protection, USDA/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) as well as equivalent government agencies of the exporting/departing countries.

Purchase your own ideal fingerboard(s) while last!
After more than six months of grueling paperwork, inspection, more paperwork, more inspections, and even testing, a CITES Export permit was finally issued and the first shipment arrived in our office this week. Of course, not after needing even further inspection and paperwork by US Customs and Border Protection, USDA, and the Department of Homeland Security, upon entry in the US, to make sure our shipment was legitimate. Despite the delay, we really appreciate that fact that all inspections and red tape have been legitimately cleared.
For those of you who are curious, a legitimate shipment of Brazilian Rosewood requires 3 permits, 1 declaration, and strict, complicated, lengthy legal procedures.
Want to re-export your guitar(s) made from our Brazilian Rosewood legally?
Yes, it can be done with our legitimate Brazilian Rosewood! The paperwork is strict and the procedures and lengthy and costly. But, YES it can be done!
Madeira, Inc.’s Brazilian Rosewood is legal, properly permitted, with paperwork to back it up. If you purchase our Brazilian Rosewood, we can assist you, for a reasonable fee, with the re-export process.
Informed luthiers should be aware that the price of Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard/Fretboards is disproportionally low compare to Acoustic sets. We suspect one reason to be the large amount of illegally imported or undocumented Brazilian Rosewood available and sold elsewhere, especially for Fingerboards pieces still available in US market. We simply cannot compete with the price of “illegal or undocumented” Brazilian Rosewood.
A Fingerboard is about 20% in volume and weight of an Acoustic set . Many of our Brazilian Acoustic Sets sell in the range of $650 to $1000 or more for a set. Ideally, therefore, we’d like to sell our Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboards for $130 to $200 each. We are aware that many of you are hesitant to pay that kind of price for Fingerboards even for our legally permitted and documented Brazilian Rosewood.
For this reason, we have decided to offer our legitimate shipment of Brazilian Rosewood to you at very low price. Through this SPECIAL SALE we hope to maintain the demand by luthiers for legal Brazilian Rosewood.
We truly believe this is an excellent and limited opportunity for you to purchase and stock genuine certified Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard (at our/MADEIRA’s expense).
You can select and purchase your own ideal fingerboard(s) from our Online Store:
Photos are actual photos or our product. “What You See Is What You Get” However, the photos tend to show it “lighter” than actual beautiful color of Brazilian Rosewood. Please consider and look at the top or bottom tip of the fingerboard where protective wax is applied for “finished look” for your selection.
