Trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, and other brass instruments are classified under 9205.10. Mouthpieces are accessories classified under 9209. Instrument cases imported with the instrument form a set (GRI 3). Flugelhorns and cornets are also 9205.10. Woodwind instruments (flutes, clarinets, saxophones) are 9205.90. The distinction between brass and woodwind in customs is about material/construction, not playing technique — saxophones are woodwinds despite being made of brass.
