More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the device is primarily a rangefinder rather than a photogrammetric scanner
Rangefinders are classified separately in the same heading, but the Polaris's core function is photogrammetric surveying.
If the instrument is used for geophysical surveying rather than photogrammetry
Other surveying instruments fall under 9015.80, but the Polaris is specifically designed for photogrammetric applications.
