Chapter 92: Musical instruments
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 9207 when importing electric musical instruments such as electric guitars or organs that require amplification. This code applies to instruments designed to produce sound through electronic means, making them distinct from traditional acoustic instruments.
When deciding between the HS-6 lines, consider the type of instrument. HS-6 920710 covers electric keyboard instruments, excluding accordions, while HS-6 920790 includes all other electric instruments like electric guitars and synthesizers. Ensure you classify correctly based on the specific design and function.
If you're importing an electric guitar, for instance, you would use HS-6 920790. However, if you have an electric keyboard that is not an accordion, you would classify it under HS-6 920710. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for compliance and duty assessment.
