Lab Instrument Cleaning Kit Swabs from Germany

Precision microfiber swabs made of 100% knitted polyester, designed for cleaning optical surfaces, electrical contacts, and delicate components of laboratory instruments without leaving residue or lint. These swabs are specifically tailored for maintaining Chapter 90 equipment like microscopes and spectrometers. They are classified as accessories because they are not specified elsewhere and are used with such instruments.

Import Tips

• Ensure the swabs are not considered textile articles of Section XI, which would exclude them from Chapter 90; they must be clearly designed for instrument cleaning

• If the swabs are impregnated with cleaning solutions, check if they fall under heading 34.01 or 38.24 instead

• Keep product literature showing their use with optical or analytical instruments to justify classification under 9033
