Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily used for industrial quality control rather than field surveying
Measuring instruments for industrial inspection fall under Chapter 90 heading 9031, not surveying-specific 9015
If when imported as complete automated data collection systems with substantial computing elements
Machines with integrated computers for data processing may classify under Chapter 84 as other machines
If for other optical measuring devices without surveying-specific rangefinding capabilities
General laser distance measurement devices without surveying functions go to heading 9013
