Common questions
- What is HTS code 9030?
- HTS heading 9030 covers oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and other instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking electrical quantities, excluding meters of heading 9028; instruments and apparatus for measuring or detecting alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, cosmic or other ionizing radiations; parts and accessories thereof:. It sits in Chapter 90 (optical and medical instruments) of the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule and contains 25 tariff lines.
- What is the duty rate for HTS 9030?
- General duty rate of 1.7%, with 24 duty-free lines. The general rate applies to most-favoured-nation trading partners; goods from countries with a free trade agreement may qualify for a reduced or duty-free special rate.
- How many digits does a full HTS code have?
- US import entries require the full 10-digit HTS code. Heading 9030 is the first four digits — the remaining six narrow it down to the specific product, which is what determines the duty rate you actually pay.
