Last updated: August 2026 dataBows, bridges, tailpieces, mutes, instrument stands, and tuning pins for bowed and plucked string instruments (heading 9202) are classified here, with the US tariff schedule distinguishing parts for bow-played instruments (9209926000) from mutes and stands (9209922000), tuning pins (9209924000), and a residual NESOI line (9209928000). China is the dominant supplier, with Canada and Germany also contributing meaningfully to US import flows. Goods of Chinese origin in this heading are likely subject to Section 301 tariffs, so landed-cost modeling should account for that exposure.
