Last updated: April 2026 dataElectric pianos, digital synthesizers, organs, and other keyboard instruments whose sound is produced or must be amplified electrically — but not accordions — are captured here. These goods are frequently subject to Section 301 tariff measures when originating from China, which has been a dominant manufacturing source for mid-range and entry-level digital keyboards. Importers should confirm the applicable Section 301 list status and any exclusion orders in effect at the time of entry, as the landscape has shifted across successive rounds of review.

Electric keyboard instruments originating in China have been subject to Section 301 tariff measures. The applicable list, rate, and any product-specific exclusions depend on the precise HTS classification and the exclusion status at the time of entry. Importers should consult the USTR exclusion portal and a licensed customs broker to confirm current exposure before placing orders.
The key distinction is the sound-production mechanism: instruments classified here produce or amplify sound electrically through keyboard action. Instruments that generate sound through purely digital or MIDI-only signal paths without a traditional keyboard may fall under a different heading. When the classification is ambiguous, a CBP binding ruling provides certainty.
