COCOBOLO UPDATE
Proposed to be listed on CITES Appendix II as of June 12th, 2013

 

Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa)


What is CITES Appendix II?
Contains species that are not necessarily threatened with extinction, but may become so unless trade is subject to strict regulations.

How will this affect Cocobolo?
Since international trade of Cocobolo would now require a specific export/import permit, prices will increase as a result of a decrease in supply, higher costs and an increase in demand.

How will this affect International sales of Cocobolo?
As of June 12th we may no longer be able to supply Cocobolo internationally. All purchases shipped before June 12th, will NOT be subject CITES regulations. Click here to see what's available. 

How will this affect Domestic sales of Cocobolo?
Supplies of Cocobolo are already very low and will be especially limited after June 12th if listed on CITES. We highly recommend placing all orders for Cocobolo before the proposed cut-off date to avoid any issues with available stock.

How can I purchase Cocobolo? 
All available stock can be viewed on our online store by clicking here. You can also call us directly to place an order over the phone. 760.434.3030

Cocobolo future outlook at T.E.H 
As our primary imported species for over 40 years, we will be doing everything possible to import Cocobolo within the CITES guidelines after June 12th. This would allow us to continue to supply high quality wood while still helping to maintain the sustainability of the species for future generations.
