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
