Import Tips
• Verify the mechanism is fully mechanical and self-contained to avoid reclassification as a toy under Chapter 95
• Include detailed technical specs and melody list in documentation to prove it's a musical instrument
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; luxury brands like Reuge often face scrutiny on declared values
