I think there is an "official" catalog of CITES species with short descriptions and photos. It is of course basically useless in case of wood, which can be quite diversely colored. It could pass as Indian Rosewood, I suppose, but I really don't want to find out...

As far as I understood, CITES is concerned only with international import/export... Interesting. How do they determine that the wood is actually one of the regulated species? Do they have a test, or are there agents that are trained in wood identification?
