Analysis
HTS 9202.10.00 covers other string musical instruments (for example, guitars, violins, harps): played with a bow under heading 9202 (other string musical instruments (for example, guitars, violins, harps)).
Within this group the rate runs from 4.5% to 8.7%. Compared with 9202.90.40 (guitars: other), which pays 8.7%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 5.5 percentage points.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 37.5%, 11.7 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 3.2%. 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 3.2% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 92 (53rd percentile of 40 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $320 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
