9209.92.60.00 - Bows, parts of bows, bow hair, chin rests and other parts and accessories for string instruments played with a bow 🖩

This HTS category, 9209.92.60.00, specifically covers essential parts and accessories for string instruments played with a bow, as defined within heading 9202. This includes items such as bows themselves, components for constructing or repairing bows, and crucial playing accessories like bow hair and chin rests. The core function of these items is to enable or enhance the performance of bowed string instruments like violins, violas, cellos, and double basses.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. For instance, 9209.92.20.00 covers distinct accessories such as mutes, instrument stands, and music holders, which are not directly part of the instrument's sound production mechanism. Similarly, 9209.92.40.00 is reserved for tuning pins, a specific mechanical component for string tension adjustment. Any other parts or accessories not explicitly covered elsewhere within heading 9209.92 would fall under the residual category 9209.92.80.00.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification of an item under 9209.92.60.00 relies on its direct relationship to bowed string instruments and its function as a part or accessory for playing them. The presence of such items implies their intended use with instruments classified under heading 9202.
