Import Tips
• Include serial numbers and manufacturer certificates to distinguish from mass-produced vs artisanal instruments
• Test bellows air-tightness before shipping; leaks can lead to damage claims and valuation disputes
• Label clearly as 'musical instrument - accordion' to avoid confusion with toy versions under Chapter 95
