HS Code 9030 — Electrical Quantity and Radiation Analyzers

These instruments measure voltage, current, or resistance in electrical circuits. This heading also uniquely includes devices that detect radiation, such as Geiger counters and monitors for X-rays.

What's included

  • Digital multimeters
  • Oscilloscopes
  • Geiger counters
  • Voltage testers
  • Spectrum analyzers for telecommunications

What's excluded

  • Electricity supply meters → use 9028 (Devices used for billing consumer electricity are in 9028.)
  • Medical X-ray machines → use 9022 (Machinery that produces X-rays for medical use is distinct from instruments that merely detect radiation.)

Common examples

  • Fluke digital multimeter
  • Handheld radiation detector
  • Four-channel digital oscilloscope
  • Circuit breaker tester

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between 9030 and 9027 for radiation?

9030 specifically names ionising radiation detection. 9027 covers light/sound/heat analysis.

Trade & shipping notes

  • Typical duty range: 0%
  • Documentation: High-end oscilloscopes with very high bandwidth are often restricted for export to certain countries.
  • Typical shipping mode: Air
  • Top exporters: USA, China, Germany
  • Top importers: South Korea, China, Taiwan

Key takeaway

The primary code for any device used to troubleshoot or measure an electrical signal or detect ionising radiation.
