Importers of Brass-Wind Musical Instruments paid $576K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $3.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Brass-Wind Musical Instruments imports of $4.9M in April 2026 ran 15% below the year-to-date monthly average of $5.7M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataTrumpets, trombones, tubas, French horns, and other brass-wind instruments are split in the US schedule by a $10-per-unit value threshold: instruments valued not over $10 each enter under 9205100040, while those valued over $10 each enter under 9205100080. This value-based split means that toy or novelty brass items and professional instruments are treated differently at the tariff line level, and accurate per-unit valuation on commercial invoices is essential. China leads import volume, particularly for student and band-program instruments, while Japan, Taiwan, and Germany supply higher-specification professional models. Instruments from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, a material cost consideration for school-district procurement programs that rely heavily on imported student-grade brass.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Each instrument's per-unit value (excluding case) determines which 10-digit line applies — 9205100040 for those valued not over $10 each and 9205100080 for those over $10 each. A mixed shipment should be broken out by value tier on the entry, with the commercial invoice itemizing quantities and per-unit prices for each tier.
Brass instruments manufactured in China are potentially subject to Section 301 tariffs. School districts and institutional buyers sourcing student-grade instruments from China should factor this into total landed cost calculations and consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the current tariff status for the applicable 10-digit line.
