Import Tips
• Verify the instrument's keyboard configuration matches piano accordion specs (right-hand piano keys, left-hand bass buttons) to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed technical specs and photos in documentation to confirm bellows and accordion mechanism compliance
• Check for CITES restrictions if any exotic woods are used in construction
