Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code starting with 90 typically represent optical, photographic, cinematographic, television, recording, and broadcasting equipment and their parts and accessories.

Specifically, Chapter 90 includes the following main products:

• Optical instruments: Including glasses, telescopes, microscopes, prisms, lenses, etc.
• Photographic equipment: Including cameras, photographic lenses, film, developing equipment, etc.
• Video equipment: Including video cameras, video tapes, video recorders, etc.
• Cinematographic and television equipment: Including film projectors, televisions, video recorders, video cameras, antennas, etc.
• Recording and broadcasting equipment: Including tape recorders, microphones, speakers, radio transmitters, receivers, etc.
• Related parts and accessories: For example, camera lens caps, video camera batteries, television remote controls, etc.

Reason for classification:

These products are all closely related to optical principles, image capture, sound recording and transmission technologies, hence they are classified into the same major category. Functionally, they all fall under the category of information acquisition, processing, and transmission.

If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 9001, 9002, etc.), I can provide a more detailed explanation.

The first four digits of the HS code refer to:

9012: This refers to:

Other microscopes, non-optical microscopes; diffraction devices; and their parts and accessories.

6-digit explanation: HS code: 9012.90

Classification: Microscopes (other than optical microscopes); diffraction devices; parts and accessories

Meaning: This refers to microscopes other than optical microscopes, diffraction devices, and their parts and accessories.

8-10 digit explanation: HS code: 9012900000

Classification: Microscopes (other than optical microscopes); diffraction devices; parts and accessories

Explanation: This HS code falls under the category of microscopes (other than optical microscopes), diffraction devices, and their parts and accessories.

Examples of products: * Scanning electron microscopes * Atomic force microscopes * X-ray diffraction equipment * Parts and accessories for non-optical microscopes * Components for diffraction devices
