Alternative Classifications

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

9027.50Lower: 10% vs 35%

If equipped with mass spectrometry detector

Hybrid FTIR-mass spectrometers may classify under spectrographs using other than optical radiations.

8471.49.00.00Lower: 32.5% vs 35%

If sold as complete automatic data processing system for non-analysis use

Systems principally for data processing rather than physical/chemical analysis fall under Chapter 84 per Section XVI notes.

9031.80.80Same rate: 35%

If for industrial process control rather than laboratory measurement

Measuring instruments for technical use in manufacturing classify under 9031 per Chapter 90 notes.
