Import Tips
• Specify 'chromatic mouth organ' on docs and note slide/button mechanism doesn't constitute keyboard classification
• Separate chromatic from diatonic in shipments; chromatics have higher value per unit
• Test for airtightness certification if claiming professional grade to support valuation
