Product description
The Inpack 2000 C02 devices, the ICC, ICD and ICM all measure the dissolved carbon dioxide content of the beverage via a calculation of the beverage’s temperature and the gas pressure after the bottle has been shaken and the top has been pierced by the device. The ICC uses pressure transducers and displays the calculated carbon dioxide content on its screen. The ICD and ICM require the user to calculate the carbon dioxide content with a special slide rule. New York Ruling Letter 863906 -104, 6-19-91, classified meters that measured the dissolved oxygen content of water in HTS 9027.10. Similar oxygen meters are also cited in Harmonized System Explanatory Note 12 to HS 9027. Per the Haffmans internet site, the Inpack 2000 Air Meter, IAM, shows on a burette the milliliters of “foreign” gas present in the volume above the beverage after the carbon dioxide has been removed by reaction with a caustic. Per the Haffmans internet site, the CO2 Purity Tester, CPT, shows on a measuring burette the percent, by volume, of the “foreign” gas in the carbon dioxide via a measurement after the carbon dioxide has been remove by reaction with lye.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the ICC will be 9027.10.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “electrical” gas or smoke analysis apparatus. The applicable subheading for the ICD, ICM, IAM and CPT will be 9027.10.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for non-“electrical,” non-“optical” gas or smoke analysis apparatus.
