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
