Codes often confused with 9209.92
Common mistake. Guitar accessories are frequently misclassified under 920930, which is the specific code for musical instrument strings. Another common error involves guitar cases; if imported with the instrument, they follow the instrument's code, but if imported separately, they are classified under 4202 based on their material. Guitar picks (plectrums) are also often misclassified; while they can fall under 920992, they are sometimes classified under 3926 if they are simple plastic articles without specialized musical features.

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).
