Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits "90" represent optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, and testing instruments and related equipment.

Specifically, this major category includes the following main products:

• Optical instruments: Including telescopes, microscopes, cameras, cinematographic cameras, projectors, prisms, lenses, filters, etc.
• Photographic equipment: Including film, photographic materials, photographic paper, developing equipment, etc.
• Measuring instruments: Including instruments for measuring length, weight, angle, temperature, pressure, flow rate, electrical quantity, etc.
• Testing instruments: Including various standard parts, inspection instruments, calibration instruments, etc.
• Related equipment: Including parts, accessories, and maintenance tools for the above instruments.

Why is it classified under 90?

These products have the common feature of using optical principles, photographic technology, or measurement technology to acquire, process, and display information. They are mainly used in scientific research, industrial production, medical care, environmental protection, transportation, military, and other fields, playing an important role in improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and improving people's lives.

In short, "90" represents a category of precision, professional, and high-tech instruments and equipment, whose core function is to acquire, process, and display information.
