About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This category, HTS 9027.50.40.60, encompasses "Other" electrical instruments and apparatus that utilize optical radiations, specifically ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light, for analysis or measurement purposes, and do not fit within more specific subcategories. These are typically complex devices designed for sophisticated technical applications.

This classification is distinct from its sibling categories by its residual nature. Unlike chemical analysis instruments (9027.50.40.15), thermal analysis instruments (9027.50.40.20), or photometers (9027.50.40.50), which have defined primary functions, this "Other" category captures electrical instruments employing optical radiations that do not conform to those specific descriptions. Examples might include certain types of light scattering analyzers or specialized optical emission spectrometers not elsewhere specified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading hinges on identifying instruments that are clearly electrical, utilize optical radiations for their primary function of analysis or measurement, and are not explicitly described by other more specific subheadings within the 9027.50.40 range. The key is to differentiate from instruments classified under other headings that may incidentally use optical principles but are primarily defined by a different analytical or measurement methodology.
