HS code for Electronic keyboards: 9207.10
Musical instruments, keyboard, (other than accordions), the sound of which is produced or must be amplified electrically.
Classification of electronic keyboards under HS 9207.10
Electronic keyboards are classified under HS code 9207.10. This heading is reserved for musical instruments where the sound is produced or must be amplified electrically. The primary characteristic of instruments in this category is that they do not have a traditional acoustic soundboard or resonant body that produces the primary sound; instead, they rely on electronic oscillators, sampled sounds, or digital synthesis. Subheading 9207.10 specifically targets keyboard instruments, excluding accordions. This includes a wide range of modern musical equipment from digital stage pianos to polyphonic synthesizers. The classification is determined by the method of sound production. Even if an instrument has a built-in speaker, if the initial sound generation is electronic, it belongs under 9207. This distinguishes them from acoustic pianos which may have a pickup installed but still produce sound mechanically. The presence of MIDI ports or USB connectivity does not change this classification as long as the device is capable of producing sound on its own.

Codes often confused with 9207.10
Common mistake. A common misclassification is HS code 9201, which covers acoustic pianos. Even if an acoustic piano has electronic components for recording, it remains in 9201 if the sound is produced by hammers hitting strings. Another frequent error is using 8543.70 for MIDI controllers. If a keyboard does not have an internal sound engine and only sends data to a computer, it is an input device and may be classified in 8471 or 8543, rather than 9207.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
