Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for automatic inspection machines
Gauges principally used with automated apparatus classify under 9031 per note 2(b).
If ungraduated interchangeable tools
Plain tool bits without measuring function fall under Chapter 82 tooling headings.
If imported in bulk as raw steel stock
Articles of steel without specific measuring graduations classify by material under Section XV.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include calibration traceability (e.g
• to 0.0002in tolerance) for duty-free lab instrument claims
• Specify plus/minus tolerances in documentation; customs distinguishes from plain steel pins
• Package in protective cases labeled as measuring sets to avoid part-of-machine scrutiny
