Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 92 covers musical instruments and their parts and accessories. India exports traditional instruments — sitars, tablas, harmoniums — alongside a range of Western and percussion instruments from established craft centres. Classification separates the instruments by family — keyboard, string, wind, percussion and electronic — and distinguishes finished instruments from their parts and accessories.
How to read this code
92 is the two-digit HS chapter for musical instruments. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many instruments, clocks & musical instruments lines — check our import guides for your market.
