BassApprentice Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'm not posting this as a political jibe - just trying to provide those of us it might affect some further info. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1185443850329960448.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Its guff. I've imported enough guitars from outside the EU and into it with zero consequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Maybe guff, but maybe not. . . . . . I remember the days when you needed a carnet when you travelled abroad with your gear. And the joy on some customs men's faces when you drove up to their post at Dover. They could wave you through, or just as easily make you unload the whole van onto the road and justify every piece of gear against the documentation. The one thing that is certainly not guff. . . . we may or may not be going back to the bad old days, but gigging in Europe will be a much more difficult process that it has been. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It’s pretty easy, use maple fretboards on guitars for use in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pineweasel Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 There’s a CITES exemption on the way for rosewood in musical instruments, thankfully. However the requirement for carnets for goods taken to Europe is a real possibility, depending on what agreements we end up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
