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 HTS classification, 9027.89.45.90, encompasses "Other electrical" instruments and apparatus for physical or chemical analysis, and for measuring or checking various physical quantities, when these instruments are not specifically categorized elsewhere within HTS 9027.89.45. The key defining characteristic for this subcategory is the electrical nature of the apparatus and its inclusion within the broader scope of analytical and measurement instruments.

Unlike the sibling categories of 9027.89.45.30 (Chemical analysis instruments and apparatus) and 9027.89.45.60 (Physical analysis instruments and apparatus), this node serves as a residual category for electrical analytical or measuring devices that do not fit neatly into the more specific chemical or physical analysis classifications at this level. The distinction hinges on the primary function and design, where if an instrument's purpose is not predominantly dedicated to a defined chemical or physical analytical process covered by its siblings, and it operates electrically, it would fall under this "Other" designation.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, practical classification relies on understanding the general scope of Chapter 90, particularly headings related to physical and chemical analysis, and then identifying electrical instruments that perform such functions but are not explicitly provided for in more granular subheadings. This could include a wide array of specialized electrical measurement devices for quantities not otherwise itemized, provided their primary function aligns with the analytical or measurement purposes outlined in heading 9027.
