Tariff classification
HTS codes: 9025.19.8080
Headings: 9025
Product description
The two samples, 5024-0487 and 0258, have metal cylinders, about 1.5 inch long and .3 inch in diameter, with two electrical wires, about 10 inches long, coming out one end. You describe them as: “Thermal Sensing Products for HVAC and Over-the-Road Refrigeration Applications. These products are used in HVAC units and on Refrigeration Units for Over-the-Road Trailers and in various electronic applications. These units provide a Linear Voltage Output correlating to temperature changes.” We understand from your statement that the electricity output from each would display the current temperature at its location if attached to an appropriately calibrated galvanometer.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for both samples will be 9025.19.8080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Thermometers, not combined with other instruments, not liquid filled, and not clinical.
