The first two digits of the HS code "92" represent instruments and their parts.
Specifically, Chapter 92 covers the following:
- Instruments: Including various string instruments (such as guitars, pianos, violins), wind instruments (such as flutes, trumpets), percussion instruments (such as drums, gongs), and keyboard instruments (such as electronic keyboards, organs), etc.
- Parts of instruments: For example, strings, keys, tubes, drumheads, etc.
Therefore, if the product is an instrument or a component of an instrument, it is usually classified under Chapter 92 of the HS code.
