Any endangered species of fauna or flora, listed under Annex A of CITES, requires an Article 10 certificate to be legally offered for sale, sold, or displayed for commercial purposes. This includes some types of rosewood, such as Dalbergia nigra (Brazilian Rosewood), and ivory.
To find out which species are under Annex A, you can search on Species+.

Displaying your Article 10 certificate
Please add a picture of your Article 10 certificate as an image or include the certificate number in the item description.
A note on Rosewood
As there are quite a few species of endangered rosewood, you must specify the type of rosewood that your item is made from. If your item is made from a type of rosewood not listed under Annex A, that type needs to be stated, so that it’s clear that a certificate isn’t needed.
