Alternative Classifications

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

3923.90.00Higher: 38% vs 35%

If plastic integrating sphere component only

Plastic articles of general use classify by material if not apparatus parts.

9031.80.80Same rate: 35%

If non-optical measuring instruments

Measurement without optical radiations (e.g., electrical power meters) shifts headings.

8513.10.40.00Lower: 13.5% vs 35%

If portable lamps with built-in testers

Lamps incorporating basic indicators classify as lighting, not analysis instruments.
