Frank Edgley Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I just received this yesterday. It is an Edgley C/G Jeffries concertina in mint condition. It has polished stainless grills and is genuine ebony. It has excellent tone and response. Everything, including the bellows, is in mint condition. If you are interested, please send me an email ... frankedgley@gmail.com for other details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I looked, with at least 50% of its value being Canadian labor/ materials, it qualifies but the package must have the forms completed when it goes through customs. If you decide not to go for free trade status, give UPS the code rather than let them guess. Perhaps the second of those marked here.

David Lay Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) With respect to free trade between our countries (US and CA), government websites are not great. NAFTA was apparently superceded by USMCA and the rules are written for big importers which I find difficult to weed through. I do not understand why when I have bought instruments from Germany and Ireland, they were simply delivered, but twice now from just inside the Canadian border, UPS has demanded import tax payments.

They tack on a customs brokerage service fee whether duty is payable or not. And this amount always seems to be quite arbitrary. With the US/Canada postal systems only the actual duty and taxes are collected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lay Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Frank, What I find is that if 50% of the cost of your concertina is Canadian including labor, Canadian materials, and components you have manufactured .....but not imported components (ex. reeds), then the concertina meets USMCA rules. (It would be best if someone else also checked, of course.) This would mean no tax/tariff. https://hts.usitc.gov/. (Gen.
