Import Tips
• Verify that the bells are not classified as parts of clocks (Chapter 91), as they are separate musical instruments
• Provide evidence that the bells are tuned and intended for musical chime sequences, not just timekeeping
• If the set includes a clock mechanism, consider separate classification for the clock parts
