Caliper (8 inch)
A caliper is a precision measuring instrument used to measure the internal or external dimensions of an object. An 8-inch caliper specifically indicates the maximum measurement range of the instrument.
Material:
- Stainless Steel: The most common material, offering corrosion resistance and durability.
- Carbon Steel: Less expensive than stainless steel, but requires protection against rust.
- Plastic/Composite: Used for less demanding applications where corrosion resistance and lower cost are prioritized.
Purpose:
Calipers are employed for precise measurement in various fields including:
- Engineering: Checking dimensions of manufactured parts.
- Metalworking: Measuring the thickness, width, and depth of materials.
- Woodworking: Precise measurement for joinery and shaping.
- Medical: Measuring body parts or medical devices.
- Jewelry Making: Accurate measurement of gemstones and metal components.
Function:
Calipers operate on the principle of accurately determining the distance between two opposing points. They typically feature:
- Fixed Anvil: Provides a reference point for external measurements.
- Movable Anvil: Slides along a calibrated scale to determine the dimension.
- Depth Probe: Extends from the end of the caliper to measure depth.
- Scale: Displayed in inches (in this case, up to 8 inches), millimeters, or both.
- Vernier Scale/Digital Display: Allows for readings with high precision (often to 0.001 inch).
Usage Scenarios:
- Measuring the outside diameter of a pipe.
- Determining the inside diameter of a hole.
- Measuring the depth of a groove.
- Checking the thickness of a sheet metal.
- Verifying the dimensions of a machined part against a blueprint.
Common Types:
- Vernier Calipers: Use a vernier scale for precise readings. Require skill to read accurately.
- Digital Calipers: Display measurements on a digital screen. Easy to read and offer quick conversions between units. Most common type for general use.
- Dial Calipers: Use a dial indicator to display measurements. Provide analog readings and are often used in industrial settings.
- Inside Calipers: Specifically designed for measuring internal dimensions.
- Outside Calipers: Designed for measuring external dimensions.
- Depth Calipers: Specialized for measuring depths.
The declared goods are 8 inch calipers, which are measuring instruments used for precise length determination. They are handheld tools commonly utilized in engineering, manufacturing, and various technical applications.
The following HS codes are relevant based on the provided reference material:
- 9017.30.40.00: This HS code falls under Chapter 90, which covers “Measuring or checking instruments, appliances and machines”. Specifically, it covers “Drawing, marking-out or mathematical calculating instruments; instruments for measuring length, for use in the hand (for example, measuring rods and tapes, micrometers, calipers), not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts and accessories thereof”. The subheading 30.40 specifically refers to “Micrometers, calipers and gauges”, and further specifies “Micrometers and calipers”.
- 8205.51.75.00: This HS code falls under Chapter 82, which covers “Handtools”. Specifically, it covers “Other handtools (including glass cutters) and parts thereof”, with the subheading 51.75 referring to “Household tools, and parts thereof”. While calipers aren’t explicitly mentioned, they can be considered handtools used in household or general applications.
- 8205.59.80.00: This HS code also falls under Chapter 82, covering “Handtools (including glass cutters) not elsewhere specified or included; blow torches and similar self-contained torches; vises, clamps and the like, other than accessories for and parts of machine tools or water-jet cutting machines; anvils; portable forges; hand- or pedal-operated grinding wheels with frameworks; base metal parts thereof”. The subheading 59.80 refers to “Other handtools (including glass cutters) and parts thereof”, and further specifies “Other”. This could apply if the caliper doesn’t fall into other more specific handtool categories.
Regarding HS code 8205.51.75.00 and 8205.59.80.00, please note that the applicable tariff is 3.7% basic tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, with an additional 30.0% additional tariff after 2025.4.2.
