Last updated: April 2026 dataStruck, shaken, and scraped percussion instruments — including drum kits, orchestral timpani, xylophones, cymbals, castanets, and maracas — are grouped here regardless of whether they are pitched or unpitched. Cymbal manufacturing is dominated by a small number of specialized producers, and drum hardware and shells often move through global supply chains with components sourced separately from finished goods. Importers assembling drum kits from multi-origin components should pay close attention to substantial-transformation rules that govern country-of-origin marking.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP applies the substantial-transformation test: the country where the article last underwent a fundamental change in character or use is the country of origin for marking purposes. For drum kits, this typically means the country where shells are manufactured and finished, not where hardware is attached — but complex assemblies should be reviewed with a licensed customs broker.
At the HTS level, drum shells, complete drum sets, cymbals, and other percussion instruments may fall under different 10-digit lines even though they share this SITC heading. Importers should verify the specific HTS subheading for each item type to ensure correct duty treatment and statistical reporting.
