Import Tips

Provide certification of wood origin to comply with Lacey Act; declare varnish type as some are restricted

Include setup details (e.g

bridge, strings installed) to prove it's a complete instrument, not parts

Watch for reclassification if sold in a retail case; bulk shipments may need different packaging declarations
