Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as laboratory glassware without scale
Unmarked glass tubes classify by material under Chapter 70, not as instruments.
If used for chemical analysis in labs
Lab hydrometers for pH or chemical density may shift to instruments for physical/chemical analysis.
If imported with diagnostic reagents
As diagnostic laboratory reagents kits, density tools bundle into chemical preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide scale range (e.g
• 1.000-1.120 SG) in invoices to confirm hydrometer function
• Glass components require careful packing declarations to avoid breakage claims
• Label as 'not for medical or technical machine use' per chapter exclusion (a)
