Overview
HTS Code 9030.39.01.00 encompasses a specific type of electrical measuring and checking instrument: those that are not multimeters, do not measure semiconductor wafers or devices, and are equipped with a recording device. This category captures a range of apparatus used to quantify electrical parameters such as voltage, current, resistance, or power, where the ability to store or log the measured data is a defining characteristic. These instruments are designed for applications requiring trend analysis, event logging, or detailed diagnostic reporting of electrical system performance.
This classification is distinct from its sibling categories by the presence of a recording mechanism. For instance, while 9030.31.00.00 and 9030.32.00.00 are specifically for multimeters (which are a subset of electrical measuring instruments), this category covers other types of electrical measuring apparatus that are not multimeters but still possess a recording function. Furthermore, it is differentiated from categories that deal with instruments for measuring or detecting ionizing radiations or those that lack recording capabilities.
As a leaf node, HTS Code 9030.39.01.00 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification of an item under this code hinges on its primary function as an electrical measuring instrument (excluding multimeters and semiconductor-specific devices) and the essential inclusion of a recording device for data capture and retention. Practical classification will involve verifying the instrument's capabilities and confirming the presence and operational status of its data recording feature.
