Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'smallpipes' with key specification (e.g
• in A) to distinguish from full-sized Highland pipes and aid quick customs clearance
• Ensure reeds and hemp threading are included in valuation but noted separately to avoid undervaluation penalties
• Check for bore diameter specs (typically 7/16 inch) in descriptions for statistical accuracy
