9015.10.80.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 9015.10.80.00, specifically covers "Other" rangefinders. Rangefinders are instruments designed to determine the distance to an object. Within this heading, the subheadings are organized by the primary mechanism or technology used for rangefinding.

This "Other" category serves as a residual classification for rangefinders that do not fall under the more specific sibling category of "Electrical" rangefinders (9015.10.40.00). Consequently, this code encompasses rangefinders that operate on principles other than electrical or electronic methods, such as optical rangefinders that rely on trigonometric calculations or stereoscopic vision, or mechanical rangefinders that use simple geometric principles.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification of an item under 9015.10.80.00 will therefore depend on its primary function as a rangefinder and the absence of an electrical or electronic operational mechanism. Examples could include traditional optical triangulation devices or manual measuring tools that, while functioning as rangefinders, do not incorporate electronic components for distance determination.
