9030.32.00.00 - Multimeters, with a recording device

This category, HTS Code 9030.32.00.00, specifically covers multimeters that are equipped with a recording device. These instruments are designed for measuring multiple electrical quantities, such as voltage, current, and resistance, and possess the capability to store or log these measurements over time. The inclusion of a recording device is the defining characteristic that differentiates these multimeters from their counterparts.

Compared to its sibling category 9030.31.00.00, which covers multimeters without a recording device, this classification is for those where the ability to capture and retain measurement data is integral to their function. Furthermore, it distinguishes itself from other "other" instruments without recording devices (9030.33) by its inherent multimeter functionality coupled with data recording. While there is a sibling category for "other" instruments with a recording device (9030.39.01.00), this specific code is reserved for multimeters as the primary measuring instrument.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on precisely identifying and classifying multimeters that possess an integrated recording or data logging feature. Examples would include digital multimeters with internal memory for storing readings or those capable of transferring logged data to external storage or a computer system.
