Musical instruments, parts and accessories for pianos.
Classification of piano accessories under HS 9209.91
Piano accessories and parts are classified under HS code 920991. This classification falls under Chapter 92, which covers musical instruments and their parts and accessories. Heading 9209 is the general category for parts and accessories of musical instruments. Subheading 920991 is specifically dedicated to those items intended for use with pianos. To be classified here, an item must be identifiable as being suitable for use solely or principally with a piano. This includes the complex internal mechanical components, known as the action, as well as structural parts like the soundboard or the iron frame. The classification is based on the specialized nature of these components, which are distinct from general-purpose hardware. This code is used by instrument manufacturers, repair shops, and specialty distributors. It ensures that the unique components of one of the world's most complex mechanical instruments are tracked separately from other stringed or electronic instrument parts.

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).
