Import Tips
• Verify instrument serial numbers and manufacturer certificates to confirm authenticity and avoid counterfeiting issues at customs
• Include detailed material composition (e.g
• brass percentage) in documentation to prevent misclassification as a toy
• Ensure proper packing with padded cases to avoid damage claims; declare as musical instrument, not luggage accessory
