9201.20.00.11 - Containing a case measuring less than 152.40 cm in length

This HTS classification, 9201.20.00.11, specifically designates grand pianos that are imported or exported with a carrying case measuring less than 152.40 centimeters in length. This category falls under the broader heading of keyboard stringed instruments, encompassing instruments that produce sound through the striking of strings by hammers, operated by a keyboard.

The crucial distinguishing factor for this classification lies in the precise measurement of the accompanying case. This category is differentiated from its sibling categories by the upper limit of the case length. For instance, 9201.20.00.21 covers cases of 152.40 cm or more but less than 167.64 cm, while this node is exclusively for cases strictly under 152.40 cm.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification remains solely on the type of instrument (grand piano) and the specific length of its carrying case. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate measurement of the case to correctly apply this tariff code.
