Overview
This HTS classification, 9015.90.01.30, specifically covers parts and accessories designated for levels. Levels, in this context, refer to instruments used for determining horizontal or vertical planes and surfaces, crucial for construction, surveying, and engineering applications. This category encompasses components such as vials, spirit levels, bubble tubes, and housings that are integral to the functioning of these leveling instruments.
It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 9015.90.01.10 pertains to parts of rangefinders, and 9015.90.01.20 covers parts of theodolites and tachymeters, 9015.90.01.30 is exclusively for leveling devices. Other sibling categories, like those for photogrammetrical surveying or geophysical instruments, indicate parts for entirely different types of apparatus, highlighting the specificity required in tariff classification.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for levels. Therefore, classification within 9015.90.01.30 relies on determining that the part or accessory is specifically designed for and intended to be used with a level instrument, as defined within the broader scope of Chapter 90. The primary consideration is the functional relationship between the part and the complete leveling apparatus.
