9207.10.00.55 - Valued $200 or over each

This HTS classification, 9207.10.00.55, specifically covers keyboard musical instruments, excluding accordions, that produce or require electrical amplification for their sound, and are valued at $200 or more per unit. These instruments are characterized by their use of a keyboard for playing and their reliance on electronic means to generate or amplify their sound. Examples include electronic organs, synthesizers with keyboards, and electric pianos that meet the specified value threshold.

The key differentiator for this subcategory, compared to its sibling 9207.10.00.45, lies solely in the valuation of the item. Both categories encompass electrically amplified keyboard instruments. However, 9207.10.00.45 applies to those with an individual value *under* $200, while 9207.10.00.55 applies to those valued at $200 or more. This distinction is crucial for applying specific duty rates or trade program eligibility.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification tree, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification is definitive for keyboard instruments requiring electrical amplification that are valued at $200 or over each, and no further breakdown is provided at this level. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate valuation to correctly apply this classification.
