HTS 9027.30 is a 6-digit subheading of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule covering Spectrometers, spectrophotometers and spectrographs using optical radiations (ultraviolet, visible, infrared). It belongs to Chapter 90 and rolls up 4 10-digit statistical lines that brokers actually file at entry.
Every 10-digit line under HTS 9027.30 carries a general (Column 1) duty rate of Free. Chapter 99 flags and potentially relevant AD/CVD order flags are shown at the per-line level; applicability depends on the shipment facts, written scope, and entry date.
U.S. Customs requires entries to be filed at the 10-digit statistical level — the broader subheading HTS 9027.30 is not directly fileable. Match your product description to the most specific 10-digit line in the list on this page; if multiple lines could apply, the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs) and chapter notes determine which one governs.
Tandom's current catalog view links no potentially relevant AD/CVD (antidumping or countervailing duty) order flags to lines under HTS 9027.30. Check current Commerce scope materials and Federal Register notices before relying on an HTS-only screen.
