Import Tips
• Obtain manufacturer's specification sheet verifying case length measurement per statistical note (perpendicular from keyboard cabinet to grand rim tail center)
• Include CITES certification if featuring rosewood or other restricted tonewoods to avoid customs delays
• Declare as finished musical instrument, not parts; disassembled for shipping still classified as piano if reassembly yields complete instrument
