No, it can legally be used, most commonly from stock that was harvested from before the embargo was imposed, or from reclaimed timbers. But the paperwork required to use it is extreme, even if it is from reclaimed sources. The change of use mean that the date applied to the timbers has to be the date it was reworked, which can cause cross-border issues.

But, leaving aside the appearance, my question would be why describe the carcass of the neck as "Brazilian Rosewood" but the touchboard as "Exotic Rosewood"? A bit odd.
