Import Tips
• Verify the instrument's value exceeds $200 per unit with commercial invoice and appraisal for statistical reporting
• Include user manuals, serial numbers, and electrical certifications (e.g
• FCC for amps) to avoid customs delays
• Ensure proper declaration of keyboards (more than one) to prevent misclassification under single-keyboard subheadings
