Denys-Michel de Larouzière hinlab Inc 412 Canary Court Lewes, DE 19958 RE: The tariff classification of the Gabi System from Romania Dear Mr. de Larouzière: In your letter dated July 28, 2026, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The item under consideration is described as the Gabi System, which is a non-invasive, child-friendly, wearable device designed for continuous monitoring of pulse rate and blood volume variations. Utilizing advanced photoplethysmography (PPG) technology, the system employs red, infrared, and green LEDs to capture micro-fluctuations in blood circulation, translating optical absorption data into precise Pulse Rate (PR) and Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) metrics. This physiological data is securely transmitted in real-time via Bluetooth to mobile and cloud-based platforms, allowing parents and clinicians to monitor cardiovascular trends and review historical waveforms without disrupting the child’s daily routine or rest. The system is imported with the Gabi sensor, four various sized textile Gabi bands, a tablet with Gabi monitor app (to start and stop a recording of physiological parameters measured by the Gabi Sensor, displays measuring information, and transfers collected data to the Gabi Cloud via Wi-Fi), two charging cables, two power adapters, a quick setup guide and a set of instructions. The applicable subheading for the Gabi System will be 9029.20.4080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Revolution counters, production counters, taximeters, odometers, pedometers and the like; speedometers and tachometers, other than those of heading 9014 or 9015; stroboscopes; parts and accessories thereof: Speedometers and tachometers; stroboscopes: Other speedometers and tachometers: Other.” The general rate of duty will be free. The duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided at https://hts.usitc.gov/.

This ruling does not address the applicability of any additional duties, taxes, fees, exactions and/or other charges, which may apply to the goods discussed herein. This includes, but is not limited to, tariffs and other duties as provided for in Subchapter III to Chapter 99, HTSUS. Thus, for example, in addition to the classification stated above, the merchandise covered by this ruling may also need to be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which an additional tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to such tariffs.
