Import Tips
• Ensure the accordion is declared as a keyboard instrument with free metal reeds, not as a general accordion, to match tariff item 9205.90.20
• Provide the manufacturer's specification sheet showing the reed type and keyboard layout to support classification
• Check if the instrument is eligible for duty-free treatment under trade agreements like CUSMA if originating from a qualifying country
