Import Tips
• Include action parts origin breakdown; Baldwin uses German Renner actions which affects country-of-origin marking
• Verify soundboard wood species (spruce only) to avoid reclassification if mahogany substitutes used
• Pre-arrange bonded warehouse storage for climate control; temperature fluctuations damage pinblock integrity
