6-digit subheadings (11)

Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.

Instruments and apparatus; for measuring or detecting ionising radiations

9030.20

Oscilloscopes and oscillographs

9030.31

Multimeters; for measuring or checking voltage, current, resistance or power (other than those for measuring or checking semiconductor wafer or devices), without a recording device

9030.32

Multimeters; for measuring or checking voltage, current, resistance or power, with a recording device

9030.33

Instruments and apparatus; for measuring or checking voltage, current, resistance or power, without a recording device (excluding multimeters)

9030.39

Instruments and apparatus; for measuring or checking voltage, current, resistance or power, with a recording device (excluding multimeters)

9030.40

Instruments and apparatus; specially designed for telecommunications (e.g. cross-talk meters, gain measuring instruments, distortion factor meters, psophometers)

9030.82

Instruments and apparatus; for measuring or checking semiconductor wafers or devices (including integrated circuits)

9030.84

Instruments and apparatus; n.e.c. in heading no. 9030, with a recording device

9030.89

Instruments and apparatus; n.e.c. in heading no. 9030, without a recording device

9030.90

Instruments, apparatus for measuring, checking electrical quantities, not meters of heading no. 9028; parts and accessories, for measuring or detecting alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, cosmic and other radiations

Chapter 90 classification notes

Many items duty-free under ITA. Medical devices require regulatory approval (FDA 510(k), CE marking, TGA). Professional equipment may require ATA Carnet for temporary import. High-value items attract customs scrutiny.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Digital cameras that are primarily smartphones classify under 8517 (Ch. 85), not 9006. Medical device accessories may classify separately from the main device.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
