CITES and buying a bass from Japan

Is it out of the question to buy a bass (with a rosewood fret board) from Japan due to the CITES? There are several very, very gorgeous Bacchus J basses with rosewood finger board at Japanese stores.... drooldrooldrool I've had a chance to play a low-end Bacchus, and it was made impeccably and sounded fabulous.
