90 — Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories thereof

Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories thereof

Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

Notes to chapter 90 — Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories thereof 8 items

7. Heading 9032 covers only:

(a) instruments and devices for the automatic control of the flow rate, level, pressure or other variable parameters of liquids or gases, or for the automatic control of temperature, whether or not their action is based on an electrical phenomenon varying according to the parameter to be regulated, which are designed to bring this parameter to the desired value and to keep it stable against disturbances, constantly or periodically measuring the actual value; and

(b) automatic regulators of electrical quantities and devices or devices for the automatic regulation of non-electrical quantities, the operation of which is based on an electrical phenomenon varying depending on the parameter to be regulated, which are designed to bring this parameter to the desired value and keep it stable from disturbances, constantly or periodically measuring the actual value.
