Import Tips
• Emphasize musical use in invoices; include performance videos to prevent classification as a tool under Chapter 82
• Declare blade length and material; ensure no power components to stay out of electric instrument headings
• For sets with mallets, note if sold as ensemble to avoid parts classification
