Alternative Classifications

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

9027.30Lower: 10% vs 35%

If spectrometers rather than photometers

Devices dispersing light into spectra classify under spectrometer heading, not broad photometry.

8479.89Lower: 12.5% vs 35%

If machines for specific color matching processes

Automated color formulation machines become unspecified machinery if beyond measurement.

9018.90.30.00Same rate: 35%

If image projectors/analyzers

Devices projecting for analysis may shift to image/sound recording apparatus.
