## Frequently asked questions

### What does customs tariff code 92 cover?

Code 92 covers MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS; PARTS AND ACCESSORIES OF SUCH ARTICLES. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.

### What is the duty rate for 92?

TARIC holds no third-country rate of its own for 92. The rate follows from the declarable commodity code beneath it.

### How many digits does 92 have?

### Is there binding tariff information for 92?

The EBTI database currently holds no valid decisions on 92. Comparable cases are found through the parent heading instead.

### What happens if the customs tariff code is wrong?

An incorrect code leads to post-clearance recovery of duty and import VAT, delays at clearance, and a penalty where it repeats. A classification with documented reasoning can be defended in an audit.

### Does customs tariff code 92 change?
