Yep, I have a Martin D35 and all the rosewood is imported for guitars - think mostly from India.

Probably. My D28 has Brazilian, pretty scarce these days.

I recall Gibson got into hot water for importing finished components of some restricted exotic woods; necks? fretboards? bridges? something like that.

Gibson alleged it was a political hit instigated by Martin, IIRC.

Found it!
