Import Tips
• Obtain manufacturer specs confirming wood content to support 'other woodwind' classification over brass winds
• Declare vintage status if pre-1980s model, as older instruments may require cultural property declarations
• Bundle with hard case but declare separately to avoid set classification pitfalls
