Import Tips
• Provide photos and technical specs showing button layout and bellows to confirm accordion classification vs similar keyboard instruments
• Check for CITES compliance if using exotic woods like rosewood in the keyboard or body construction
• Declare weight and dimensions accurately, as larger accordions may trigger different freight handling requirements
