9205.90.20.00 - Bagpipes

This HTS category encompasses bagpipes, a distinct type of wind musical instrument. Bagpipes are characterized by a bag that acts as an air reservoir, from which one or more pipes are sounded. The classification is specifically for the complete instrument and its essential components.

While the parent heading 9205 covers a broad range of wind instruments, this subheading (9205.90.20) isolates bagpipes from other categories within the "Other" classification. It is important to differentiate bagpipes from other wind instruments that may share some functional similarities but lack the characteristic bag and pipe configuration, such as certain types of accordions or mechanical organs.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code is definitive for bagpipes. Practical classification relies on identifying the instrument's fundamental design and purpose as a bagpipe, distinguishing it from other wind instruments under heading 9205.
