Import Tips

• Verify the part is exclusively for instruments under 9205.90.14 (household wind types) with supplier documentation to avoid misclassification

• Include detailed technical specs and diagrams in import entries to prove functionality as a musical instrument part, not general machinery

• Check for any electronic components, as those may shift to HTS Chapter 92 accessories or Chapter 85
