Import Tips
• Use soft padding and custom crating to protect gateleg mechanisms from shifting during ocean freight
• Provide dendrochronology reports if available to scientifically prove wood's harvest date exceeds 250 years
• Avoid cleaning agents; declare as-is condition to preserve patina value for appraisers
