U.S. imports of non-keyboard, non-bowed string instruments (guitars, harps, etc.) (HS 920290) totaled $11.0M in April 2026, traded with 41 countries.
Importers of Non-Keyboard, Non-Bowed String Instruments (Guitars, Harps, etc.) paid $765K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $4.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGuitars, harps, lutes, banjos (acoustic), and similar plucked or strummed instruments that are neither keyboard nor bowed fall here, with the US schedule subdividing them primarily by guitar value thresholds. Guitars valued not over $100 (excluding case value) enter under 9202902000, while higher-value guitars are split across 9202903000 and 9202904000, and all remaining string instruments fall under 9202906000 — making accurate invoice valuation a key compliance step. Mexico and China are the two dominant suppliers, with Indonesia a significant third source; Mexico's proximity and USMCA eligibility give it a logistics and duty advantage for many mid-range guitar brands. Importers sourcing from China should confirm current Section 301 applicability for the relevant 10-digit line.

The tariff schedule explicitly excludes the value of the case when determining whether a guitar falls under the sub-$100 line (9202902000). The invoice should separately state the guitar's value and any case value to support correct classification.
Mexico is the leading supplier under this heading, and instruments that meet USMCA rules of origin may qualify for preferential duty treatment. Importers must obtain a valid USMCA certification of origin and confirm that the instrument's production meets the applicable regional value content or tariff-shift requirements.
