Import Tips
• Verify the instrument is over 50% brass by weight to confirm classification under 9205.10.00; provide material composition certificates
• Include performance documentation showing it's a functional musical instrument, not a toy or decorative item
• Avoid misclassification as parts by ensuring it's fully assembled and playable; common pitfall is incomplete valve assembly
