9207.10.00 - Keyboard instruments, other than accordions

HTS Code 9207.10.00 specifically classifies keyboard instruments whose sound is produced or amplified electrically, excluding accordions. This broad category encompasses instruments that rely on electronic means for sound generation or modification, such as electric organs and electronic pianos, as long as they feature a keyboard interface. The defining characteristic is the presence of a keyboard for playing.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 9207.90.00, which covers "Other" electrically amplified musical instruments not otherwise specified within Chapter 92. While 9207.10.00 is solely dedicated to keyboard-based instruments of this type, 9207.90.00 would encompass electrically amplified instruments that lack a keyboard, such as electric guitars, electric basses, or electric violins.

Within 9207.10.00, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The category includes "Music synthesizers," which are electronic musical instruments that generate a wide range of sounds through synthesis and are operated via a keyboard. The "Other" subcategory accounts for a variety of electrically amplified keyboard instruments that do not fit the specific definition of a music synthesizer, ensuring comprehensive coverage within this HTS heading.
