I believe that customs duty is owed regardless. For the United States, the duty rate on woodwinds is 4.9%, with a few countries being excepted (mainly Canada, Mexico, with a handful of others).
That said, there are multiple examples of times where the Customs office neglected to collect this duty when individuals imported instruments.
