Refractometer Prism Assembly
Sapphire prism with calibration scale for Abbe refractometers (9027.20). Critical for measuring refractive index of liquids. Classified 9027.90.84.00 as dedicated optical component.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If optical prisms not tied to refractometers
General optical elements classify in heading 9001.
If synthetic sapphire sold as gem material
Piezoelectric quartz/sapphire shifts to Chapter 71.
If prisms for other optical testers
Suffix varies by parent instrument subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify refractive index range and dispersion correction
• Anti-reflective coatings require optical treatment declaration
• Standalone prisms risk 9001 classification
