U.S. imports of electrically amplified non-keyboard musical instruments (HS 920790) totaled $28.1M in July 2026, traded with 50 countries.
Importers of Electrically Amplified Non-Keyboard Musical Instruments paid $3.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $19.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Electrically Amplified Non-Keyboard Musical Instruments imports of $28.1M in July 2026 ran 15% above the year-to-date monthly average of $24.4M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataElectric guitars, electric banjos, and other fretted or non-keyboard instruments requiring electrical amplification are split into two US tariff lines: fretted stringed instruments (9207900040) and a residual NESOI line (9207900080) for other electrically amplified instruments. Indonesia leads US import supply under this heading — a reflection of major guitar brands' manufacturing footprint there — followed by China and Mexico. Importers should distinguish between acoustic-electric instruments (which may still classify here if amplification is integral) and purely acoustic instruments that classify under 920290; the presence of onboard electronics and pickups is the operative distinction.

An acoustic-electric guitar with an onboard pickup system that requires amplification to produce its intended sound is generally classified under 920790 as an electrically amplified instrument. A purely acoustic guitar with an aftermarket pickup added may still classify under 920290. The key factor is whether the instrument is designed and marketed as one whose sound is produced or must be amplified electrically; importers should document the instrument's specifications and consult a customs broker for borderline cases.
Indonesia has become a primary manufacturing hub for major US and international guitar brands due to competitive labor costs and established production infrastructure. This concentration means that disruptions — whether from logistics, labor, or regulatory changes — can affect supply across multiple brands simultaneously. Importers reliant on Indonesian production should monitor lead times and consider whether secondary sourcing from Mexico or other suppliers is feasible for their product specifications.
