Import Tips
• Verify the instrument is classified as a mouth organ (harmonica) and not an accordion; provide manufacturer specs confirming reed construction and free-blowing design
• Include detailed invoices specifying key, number of reeds/holes, and materials to avoid misclassification as toy instruments under Chapter 95
• Ensure compliance with CPSC standards if marketed for children under 12, as small parts in harmonicas can pose choking hazards
