Guitar parts Hs Code

Guitar parts harmonized system code

Product Overview Guitar parts classified under HS Code 920992 encompass individual components specifically manufactured for assembly or repair of stringed musical instruments, notably guitars. These parts include but are not limited to tuning pegs, bridge pins, nuts, saddles, fretboards, and pickguards. Typically fabricated from materials such as metal alloys, high-grade plastics, wood, and composite substances, these components exhibit precise dimensional tolerances and surface finishes to ensure optimal performance and durability. The level of processing ranges from raw semi-finished elements to finely machined or molded parts ready for direct installation. Within the HS Code 920992 classification, subcategories are delineated based on the specific function and material composition of the parts, facilitating granular identification for customs and tariff purposes. Commercially, these parts serve critical roles in the musical instrument manufacturing and repair sectors, supporting aftermarket service providers and OEM operations. Their competitive advantage lies in adherence to stringent quality standards, compatibility with diverse guitar models, and availability in standardized formats conducive to mass production and customization. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 920992 is structured hierarchically as follows: Chapter 92 (Musical Instruments; parts and accessories), Heading 9209 (Musical instrument parts and accessories), and Subheading 920992 (Parts of string musical instruments, specifically guitars). Classification under this code is predicated on the product’s intended use as integral components of guitars, distinguished from whole instruments or unrelated musical accessories. Trade professionals should note that packaging typically involves protective materials such as foam inserts and moisture-resistant wraps to mitigate damage and corrosion during transit. Preservation methods may include desiccants or anti-tarnish coatings for metal parts to maintain quality integrity. Shipping requirements emphasize secure containment within standardized crates or cartons compatible with international freight regulations. Quality standards align with ISO norms pertinent to material properties, dimensional accuracy (often within ±0.01 mm), and finish quality to meet both OEM and aftermarket expectations. Compliance with WTO guidelines and the Harmonized System ensures accurate tariff application and smooth customs clearance across global markets.
