Directional Boring Locator from Japan
A directional boring locator is a walkover guidance system with a sonde transmitter used to track the path of an underground boring head. It falls under tariff item 8430.49.00 as part of a boring system, despite being primarily a guidance device, because it is integral to the boring operation.
