9025.19.80.20 - Other

This HTS classification, 9025.19.80.20, designates "Other" clinical thermometers and pyrometers that are not combined with other instruments. These instruments are specifically designed for measuring body temperature in medical and veterinary contexts. They can include a variety of types, such as digital thermometers with a probe, mercury-in-glass thermometers intended for clinical use, or ear thermometers, provided they do not incorporate features of other instruments like humidity sensors or barometers.

This specific subcategory distinguishes itself from its sibling, 9025.19.80.10, by excluding infrared thermometers of the kind described in statistical note 2 of this chapter. While both fall under "Other" clinical thermometers, the sibling category is exclusively for infrared devices with particular statistical note specifications. Therefore, this category encompasses all other types of clinical thermometers and pyrometers that do not meet the criteria for infrared thermometers as defined by the statistical note.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this code is therefore determined by ensuring the instrument is a thermometer or pyrometer, intended for clinical (medical or veterinary) measurement of body temperature, and does not fall under the specific exclusion for infrared thermometers. The primary function and intended use are paramount for accurate classification.
