Import Tips

Use calibrated tools for height verification; discrepancies can trigger audits or duty adjustments

Label as 'upright acoustic piano' clearly; avoid 'console' terminology that implies smaller size

Check for rosewood or exotic wood components requiring additional Lacey Act declarations
