(follow on from the above post)
it is not illegal to import burmese teak if you have permission from the Burmese government, and if you agree to pay them a certain percentage in return - but you are limited in what you can import at any one time.
Alot of companys are now making furninture from Indonesian teak - which is not controlled in its felling and is slowly running out - that will soon be illegal within 5 years or so when it becomes a reality that there is very little left.
Hope this clears things up.
