Last updated: April 2026 dataDrums, cymbals, xylophones, castanets, maracas, and tuned bell sets (chimes, carillons) are covered here, with the US schedule providing dedicated 10-digit lines for drums (9206002000), cymbals (9206004000), and tuned bell sets (9206006000), plus a residual line (9206008000) for other percussion. Cymbals in particular have a concentrated professional supply chain — Turkey is a globally recognized production center, though China and Taiwan dominate overall import volume under this heading. Germany and Japan contribute higher-specification orchestral and marching percussion. Importers of cymbal sets and drum hardware should confirm whether components (stands, hardware) are classified separately under Chapter 84 or 73 rather than with the instrument itself.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Drum hardware such as stands, pedals, and mounting brackets is generally classified separately — often under Chapter 84 (machinery/mechanical appliances) or Chapter 73 (iron and steel articles) — rather than with the drum instrument itself. Importers should review each component's classification individually, particularly for mixed shipments of complete drum kits with accessories.
Tuned bell sets designed as musical instruments — including chimes, peals, and carillons — enter under 9206006000. Decorative or non-musical bells may fall under different headings in Chapter 83 or elsewhere. The key classification criterion is whether the article is designed and used as a musical instrument capable of producing tuned pitches.
