Import Tips
• Document foam density and construction to prove it's a protective musical case, not a general padded bag under Chapter 39
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming textile sheeting as outer surface to prevent reclassification to plastic categories
• Watch for combined shipments with instruments; separate invoices to avoid set classification under Chapter 92
