Government Notifications
Quick answerRed sandalwood is governed by rules that change over time, so rather than freeze a snapshot, this page points you to the authoritative primary sources: the CITES listing, DGFT export notifications, MoEFCC environment notifications, and Andhra Pradesh Forest Department orders and auction notices. Always read the current document directly \u2014 a plantation harvested 12+ years from now will be governed by whatever framework is in force then, not today's.
