Import Tips
• Provide technical drawings or oboe exploded views demonstrating cork placement to substantiate woodwind classification
• Declare exact material (e.g
• Delrin synthetic) and quantity per set; bulk imports may trigger valuation scrutiny
• Avoid misclassification by distinguishing from universal instrument corks under 9209.99.2000
