Import Tips

• Include OEM compatibility statements (e.g

• Steinway-approved) to support piano-specific classification

• Declare exact quantity per piano (typically 220-230 pins) for statistical reporting accuracy

• Avoid generic labeling; specify 'piano tuning pins only' to prevent duty reassessment
