Default CITES and KS basses

Hi!
With the new CITES regulations that make it harder to import instruments with endangered woods, I was just wondering if Ken Smith Basses are built using any of the woods that are listed under the CITES regulation and thereby requiring permits for export out of USA?

I know that there are many luthiers who are working actively to promote use of sustainable woods only. I have a 90 BT6, and as far as I know, the morado fingerboard, walnut neck stringers, mahogany and koa body wings are all "good" with regards to CITES. Although some of them are on other red lists.

What are Ken Smith Basses take on these issues?
