Import Tips

• Include material safety data sheets for leather/synthetics to comply with import regulations on animal products

• Specify in invoices that bellows are pre-cut for specific 9205.90.14 models to avoid parts of general pumps classification

• Test for airtight seals during quality control to ensure they function solely as musical parts
