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
