Import Tips
• Verify the stand is explicitly designed for musical instruments like guitars to qualify under 9209; generic holders may shift to furniture headings
• Include detailed photos and specs in documentation proving collapsibility and foldable mechanism to avoid misclassification
• Label as 'musical instrument accessory' and ensure no additional furniture features like storage drawers that could trigger Chapter 94 duties
