Overview
This HTS classification, 9027.89.45.30, specifically designates electrical instruments and apparatus used for chemical analysis. These devices are designed to measure or examine the chemical composition or properties of substances. Examples include electrical titrators, electrochemical detectors, and certain types of conductivity meters, provided their primary function is chemical analysis and they operate electrically. The emphasis is on the underlying chemical principles being measured or manipulated by the instrument.
This category is distinct from its sibling, 9027.89.45.60, which covers instruments and apparatus for physical analysis. While physical analysis instruments may also operate electrically, their focus is on properties like viscosity, density, or particle size, rather than the chemical makeup of a substance. Furthermore, 9027.89.45.90 encompasses all other electrical instruments and apparatus within this broader grouping that do not fit the specific criteria for chemical or physical analysis.
As a leaf node, 9027.89.45.30 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on a careful determination of the instrument's primary purpose being chemical analysis and its inherent electrical operation. Any ambiguity should be resolved by considering the specific scientific principles the instrument employs to achieve its analytical function.
