Overview
This HTS classification, 9209.99.20.00, specifically covers accessories and parts designed for bagpipes. This includes items such as reeds, mouthpieces, drones, bags, and other components integral to the functioning and playing of bagpipes. The classification is rooted in Chapter 92, which deals with musical instruments and their related parts and accessories, reflecting the specialized nature of these items within the broader musical instrument category.
Distinguishing this code from its siblings, 9209.99.16.00 and 9209.99.18.00, is crucial as those codes are designated for parts and accessories of pipe organs and specific other instruments, respectively. Furthermore, while 9209.99.40 covers general woodwind and brass wind instrument accessories, and 9209.99.61.00 is for music box components, this particular code is exclusively for bagpipes. The general "Other" categories for parts and accessories of musical instruments are reserved for items not otherwise specified.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 9209.99.20.00 is determined by the direct association of the part or accessory with a bagpipe. The primary classification criterion is the intended use and design of the item for a bagpipe, irrespective of the material it is made from, provided it meets the general definition of a part or accessory for a musical instrument under heading 9209.
