Last updated: July 2026 dataUpright pianos are classified in the US schedule by case height — a proxy for soundboard size and tonal quality — with breakpoints at approximately 111.76 cm, 121.92 cm, and 129.54 cm (9201100011, 9201100021, 9201100031, 9201100041), plus a separate line for used instruments (9201100005). Japan and Indonesia are the leading US import sources, with Germany supplying a smaller but premium-tier segment. The height-based classification system means importers must obtain precise case measurements from manufacturers, as misclassification between size brackets is a recurring CBP examination issue.

Case height is measured from the floor to the top of the piano case (lid closed), not including any casters or adjustable feet. Importers should obtain a manufacturer's specification sheet or technical drawing confirming the case height in centimeters and retain it with entry records. CBP may physically measure instruments during examination, so accurate pre-shipment measurement is essential.
Yes — used upright pianos have a dedicated 10-digit line (9201100005) separate from new instruments. Beyond classification, used pianos may be subject to USDA APHIS inspection if they contain wood components that could harbor pests, and importers should be prepared for fumigation or treatment requirements depending on the wood species and origin country.
