Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

9024.80.00Same rate: 35%

If adapted for softer materials like plastics

Brinell method unsuitable for non-metals directs to other materials subheading.

9013.80Lower: 14.5% vs 35%

If incorporating laser measuring optics as primary function

Chapter note 7 prioritizes measuring optical instruments to 9031 or 9013 over mechanical testers.

8481.80.90Higher: 37% vs 35%

If principally a hydraulic testing valve system

Note 1(g) excludes valves/appliances of 8481 even if used in testing setups.
