Trip to Ireland, eh? I assume the mandolin's not being permanently exported, but do the ebony fingerboard and headstock overlay run afoul of the CITES regs? She may need to get documentation of the A-4's "antique" status.

The one area of concern would be if the nut was ivory. That really would be a big issue.
