Two things I thought were of interest if I read the story right; the Feds have yet to file any charges and the seizures are based off of the Justice departments interpretation of the Indian law and not from the breaking of any US law in this instance. Hence the lack of charges actually being filed.

This should be of particular concern to those who or import or use exotic wood to make gun grips. You don't have to be in violation of US law to have your property seized and you may never be charged with a crime.
