I am not sure it is necessary
I have quit a lot of experience is sending saxophones from many countries to the US and , unless the shipping address (to and fro) is a company address (so private people) , I never paid (and most people I know, never did that too) any duty sending items , even insured for several hundreds to even thousands of $.
The only one duty was levied was when I shipped a saxophone to a Shop , they paid 6%.
Unfortunately these days in EU we pay a lot more anything entering the EU with a value above €22 pays VAT (21% in the NL, slightly different in each state but everywhere present in the 27 states ) since las June is you also import an item above €150 on top of the VAT one pays ALSO duty.
