9209.94 - Parts and accessories for the musical instruments of heading 9207:

This HTS category, 9209.94, encompasses parts and accessories specifically designed for musical instruments falling under heading 9207. Heading 9207 typically covers musical instruments with electric or electronic components, such as electronic keyboards, synthesizers, electric guitars, and electric organs. Therefore, this classification applies to components and accessories intended to be used with these types of instruments, facilitating their assembly, repair, or enhanced functionality. Examples might include power supplies for synthesizers, specialized cables for electronic instruments, or control pedals for electric guitars.

This category is distinct from its siblings, 9209.91 and 9209.92. Category 9209.91 is exclusively for parts and accessories of pianos, which are acoustic instruments. Category 9209.92 pertains to parts and accessories for musical instruments classified under heading 9202, which generally covers other stringed instruments like acoustic guitars, violins, and cellos. Category 9209.94, in contrast, focuses solely on items associated with the electronically driven or amplified instruments of heading 9207.

Within 9209.94, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory 9209.94.40.00 is designated for collapsible musical instrument stands. These stands are specifically manufactured to support instruments such as keyboards or amplifiers. The residual category, 9209.94.80.00, covers all other parts and accessories for instruments of heading 9207 that are not collapsible stands, providing a catch-all for items like mounting brackets, specialized carrying cases, or internal electronic components not covered by more specific subheadings.
