Flexatone Percussion from China

A flexatone, a metal-sheet percussion instrument with a wooden handle and ball striker, used to produce eerie glissando effects in film scores. It is classified under 9206.00.90 as other percussion because it is a friction-idle struck instrument not named in the sibling item.

Import Tips

• Ensure the flexatone is not classified as a toy, as toy instruments are excluded from Chapter 92 under Note 1(c)

• Provide a clear product description to CBSA to distinguish it from standard drums or cymbals

• Check if the flexatone qualifies for preferential duty rates under trade agreements by submitting the appropriate documentation
