Import Tips
• Confirm the rattles are not operated by coins or other payment means, as that would change classification to heading 95.04
• Ensure they are not made of base metal parts of general use, which are excluded by Chapter 95 Note 1(k)
• Declare them as festive noisemakers to avoid misclassification
