9207.90.00.80 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 9207.90.00.80, encompasses electrically amplified musical instruments that do not fall into specific subcategories. It serves as a residual classification for instruments whose sound production or amplification relies on electrical means, but which are not explicitly defined elsewhere within heading 9207. The broad scope of this category means it can include a diverse range of instruments designed for electronic sound generation or modification.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 9207.90.00.40, which specifically covers "fretted stringed instruments." Therefore, any electrically amplified musical instrument that is a fretted stringed instrument, such as an electric guitar or electric bass, would be classified under 9207.90.00.40. The "Other" designation here applies to all other electrically amplified musical instruments that are not fretted stringed.

Given that this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under this code will depend on the instrument's primary function and electrical amplification characteristics, ensuring it is not specifically classifiable under any other more precise heading or subheading. Examples might include certain types of electric keyboards or synthesizers not covered by other headings, or other novel electronic musical devices that produce or amplify sound electrically.
