Last updated: April 2026 dataImported musical instruments range from mass-market student instruments to handcrafted professional-grade pieces, with manufacturing concentrated in China, Germany, and several Eastern European countries for different market segments. CITES import permit requirements apply to instruments containing listed wood species or animal-derived materials (ivory, certain tortoiseshell), and US Fish & Wildlife Service enforcement at ports of entry has increased scrutiny on these materials. Student-grade instruments from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, a cost factor that has driven some sourcing shifts toward Indonesia and other producers.

The US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) administers CITES import permits at designated ports of entry. Instruments containing Appendix I or II listed species must enter through a CITES-designated port with the appropriate foreign export permit and, where required, a US import permit issued by USFWS.
Importers should obtain species identification documentation from the manufacturer, including scientific names and country of harvest for all wood and animal-derived components. The Lacey Act requires a plant and plant product declaration for wood-containing imports, and false declarations carry significant civil and criminal penalties.
