Tariff classification
HTS codes: 9027.50.40
Headings: 9027
Product description
The CoroCAM 6D is a daylight ultraviolet and visible channel camera. It is used for the observation of high voltage electrical defects through the emission of ultraviolet light from the air due to the electrical stress of corona, arcing and sparking. The CoroCAM 6D is described as a ultraviolet photon detector which measures and displays the quantity of photons being emitted in the ultraviolet solar-blind wavelengths within a specific unit area or field of view in an image. The CoroCAM 6D also has a color visible light camera within a field of view to create an image. The fields of view of the two images are concurrent and are optically and electronically overlaid. The CoroCAM 6D is used to detect and observe electrical discharge on high voltage equipment such as transmission lines and distribution lines, for the purpose of maintenance and safety.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the CoroCAM 6D will be 9027.50.40, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for instruments and apparatus for measuring and checking quantities of heat, sound or light; other instruments and apparatus using optical radiations (ultraviolet, visible, infrared); other; electrical.
