Import Tips
• Label woods accurately (e.g
• rosewood fretboard) and obtain Lacey Act declarations to avoid delays at customs
• Separate value of case if shipped together; instrument cases may classify differently under 4202
• Ensure serial numbers match invoices; discrepancies trigger valuation scrutiny on high-end guitars
