Per the attached flyer, the CAN-Climatic-Sensor, KS-CAN-03, enables “the measuring of the humidity and temperature in in-door and out-door area under defined operating condition.” Its humidity measurement accuracy is stated to be 2 percent and its temperature measurement accuracy is stated to be .5 degrees Kelvin. It is clearly “electrical” per Chapter 90, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), Additional U.S. Note 2. The applicable subheading for the KS-CAN-03 will be 9025.80.1000, HTSUS, which provides for, inter alia, electrical thermometers, combined with other instruments. The rate of duty will be 1.7 percent ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
