HTS subheading · chapter 90
9018.90
Other instruments and appliances and parts and accessories thereof
Analysis
Subheading 9018.90 covers other instruments and appliances and parts and accessories thereof, within heading 9018. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 10 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 10 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
Its 10 lines start with 9018.90.10 (mirrors and reflectors), 9018.90.20 (optical instruments and appliances and parts and…), 9018.90.30 (anesthetic instruments and appliances and parts…) and 9018.90.40 (percussion hammers, stethoscopes and parts of…); the full list is in the table below.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (339112), Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing (334510) and Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing (334418). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
