Roland FR-1X V-Accordion from United States
The Roland FR-1X is a digital accordion that simulates free metal reeds using MIDI technology, with a traditional keyboard layout and bellows simulation. Although electronic, it is designed to replicate the sound and playing experience of a keyboard instrument with free metal reeds, similar to a harmonium. This places it under tariff item 9205.90.20 as a 'similar keyboard instrument with free metal reeds'.

Import Tips
• For digital accordions like the Roland FR-1X, confirm with CBSA that the instrument is classified based on its function as a keyboard instrument with simulated free reeds, not as electronic equipment
• Include the user manual and product description to clarify its harmonium-like nature
• Check if the digital components affect duty rates under the Customs Tariff
