Import Tips
• Include technical specs like reed thickness and valve presence to confirm wind instrument classification over toys
• For bulk professional shipments, segregate diatonic vs chromatic models to match correct 10-digit HTS codes
• Label shipments clearly as 'musical instruments - harmonicas' to prevent diversion to toy tariffs
