Import Tips

• Verify the instrument's string count and construction to confirm classification under 9202; electric guitars must have strings as the primary sound source

• Include detailed invoices specifying model, materials (e.g

• wood type), and value; provide CITES documentation if using rosewood or other restricted woods

• Avoid misclassification as toys (9503) by proving musical functionality; common pitfall is undervaluing high-end models
