HTS Chapter 90: Optical & precision instruments
Updated 2026-10-01 · planning estimate · verify the 10-digit code in the official HTS
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule groups related goods into chapters. Chapter 90 covers Optical & precision instruments. The chapter only locates the right part of the schedule — the exact duty depends on the heading, subheading and the country layers that stack on top, so two goods in the same chapter can carry quite different rates.
