Analysis
HTS 9201.10.00 covers pianos, including player pianos; harpsichords and other keyboard stringed instruments: upright pianos under heading 9201 (pianos, including player pianos; harpsichords and other keyboard stringed instruments). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
The general duty rate is 4.7% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 92 (73rd percentile of 40 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $470 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 3.5% to 4.7%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 9201.90.00 (pianos, including player pianos; harpsichords and other keyboard…), at 3.5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 1.2 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 4.7%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 40%, 8.5 times the general rate.
