Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as rangefinder components only
Chapter Note 2(a) classifies parts in respective headings if identifiable; separate from complete appliances.
If adapted for speedometer testing
End-use shift to revolution counters (9029) per specific function over surveying design.
If for non-optical profile projectors
Optical profile projectors specifically under 9031; surveying theodolites distinguished by field use.
