9201
Pianos, including player pianos; harpsichords and other keyboard stringed instruments
Analysis
Heading 9201 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers pianos, including player pianos; harpsichords and other keyboard stringed instruments. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 3 eight-digit tariff lines, with 12 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.5% to 4.7% with a median of 4.7%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The largest subheadings are 9201.10 (unnamed, 1 line), 9201.20 (unnamed, 1 line) and 9201.90 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of 4.7% sits at the 73rd percentile of the headings in chapter 92.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Musical Instrument Manufacturing (339992). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
