9013.10.50.00 - Other

This category, HTS Code 9013.10.50.00, encompasses "Other" telescopic sights intended for fitting to arms, as well as periscopes and telescopes specifically designed for integration into machines, appliances, instruments, or apparatus falling within Chapter 90 or Section XVI of the HTS. It broadly covers optical devices that are not explicitly detailed in preceding subheadings.

This classification distinguishes itself from HTS Code 9013.10.45.00, which specifically covers telescopes designed as integral components of other machinery or apparatus. While both deal with telescopes, 9013.10.50.00 also includes standalone telescopic sights for firearms and periscopes, which are not covered under the narrower scope of 9013.10.45.00. The "Other" designation signifies that it serves as a residual category for optical instruments within this group that do not fit more specific descriptions.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 9013.10.50.00 relies on a thorough assessment of whether the imported optical instrument is a telescopic sight for arms, a periscope, or a telescope designed for integration into machinery, and that it does not fall under any more specific HTS provision within Heading 9013.
