Import Tips
• Provide wiring diagrams to prove integral amplification needs; customs may inspect for passive vs active electronics
• Declare exact wood species for Lacey Act compliance; rosewood fingerboards require CITES docs
• Ship in hard case separately to avoid set classification; bulk shipments need per-unit valuation
