Import Tips

• Document compatibility with guitar amps or instruments to tie it to heading 9207; standalone mic stands may go elsewhere

• Check for boom arm extensions; if overly complex, it might classify as a different accessory

• Use invoices specifying 'collapsible for transport' to differentiate from fixed-position stands
