Import Tips
• Label as 'electrically amplified fretted instrument' on commercial invoice with photos of frets and electronics
• Check for restricted woods like ebony; obtain prior approval for endangered species compliance
• Bundle with gig bag only if not sold as a set; separate packaging prevents reclassification
