Wooden liability (2)

This happened to Gibson in 2009: LINK

Just 2 days ago, Gibson's premises were raided by the Feds for breaching the Lacey Act (act was recently amended to address illegally sourced timbre). Gibson's CEO said:  

Gibson is innocent and will fight to protect its rights. Gibson has complied with foreign laws and believes it is innocent of ANY wrong doing. We will fight aggressively to prove our innocence.

What's the wood involved in the recent case? Indian rosewood.
