Analysis
HTS 9201.90.00 covers pianos, including player pianos; harpsichords and other keyboard stringed instruments: other under heading 9201 (pianos, including player pianos; harpsichords and other keyboard stringed instruments).
Rates on the nearby lines range from 4.7% to 4.7%. The costliest confusion would be with 9201.20.00 (pianos, including player pianos; harpsichords and other keyboard…) at 4.7%, a difference of 1.2 points on the customs value.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 40%, 11.4 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3.5%. 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 general duty rate is 3.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 92 (56th percentile of 40 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $350 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
