Last updated: August 2026 dataMechanical music boxes, which produce sound through a rotating cylinder or disc engaging tuned metal tines, enter the US under a single 10-digit line (9208100000). China is the dominant supplier, with Sweden and Japan notable sources — Japan in particular has a long heritage of high-quality music box production associated with the Sankyo and Reuge-style mechanisms. Importers of collectible or high-value music boxes should be prepared to substantiate customs value, as the range from mass-market souvenir items to precision Swiss-style mechanisms is extremely wide within this single tariff line.

Classification depends on the article's essential character. A snow globe or decorative figurine where the music box mechanism is incidental to its primary decorative function may classify under Chapter 95 (toys) or Chapter 83 (miscellaneous articles of base metal) rather than 920810. When the musical function is the primary purpose, 920810 is appropriate. Importers of combination decorative/musical items should seek a binding ruling or broker guidance before filing.
Given the wide price range within 9208100000 — from inexpensive souvenir pieces to precision multi-voice mechanisms valued in the thousands of dollars — CBP may query declared values on premium items. Importers should retain manufacturer invoices, catalog pricing, and any independent appraisals for high-value pieces to support the declared customs value.
