HS Code 9033Machines and appliances, instruments or apparatus of chapter 90; parts and accessories n.e.c. in chapter 90

What heading 9033 covers

Heading 9033 is meant for pieces that go with the machines, appliances, instruments and apparatus of Chapter 90 but are named nowhere else in the chapter. The short form n.e.c. means not elsewhere covered.

Think of it as a step-by-step check. A part for a gauge, a medical device or a lab tool should go first to the heading that names it. Only if none does, the part lands here. This is why people who search for measuring instrument parts often end up on this page.

Chapter 90 is wide. It spans optics, cameras, measuring tools, and medical and surgical equipment. A part that belongs to any of them and has no home of its own can sit under 9033.

HSN 9033, 903300 and 9033.00: the code formats

The same heading is written in a few ways. Four digits give the heading, 9033. Add two more digits and you get 903300. Some tariff schedules print a dot, as in 9033.00.

In India the term HSN is common. HSN 9033 points to the same heading as the HS code. Countries can add more digits for their own tariff lines, but the first six digits follow the Harmonized System.

Use the format your customs form asks for. If you need help with tariff classification for a specific part, try the HS code classifier first.

Difference between 9033 and 9031: which heading to pick

The most common mix-up is between 9033 and 9031. Heading 9031 is for measuring or checking instruments, appliances and machines that are not covered elsewhere in the chapter, plus profile projectors.

Before you settle on 9033, check whether a specific heading already fits your part. These are the usual ones to look at:

• 9031: measuring or checking instruments and machines n.e.c., and profile projectors
• 9032: regulating or controlling instruments and apparatus of the automatic type
• 9018: instruments used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary work
• 9026: instruments for measuring or checking the flow, level or pressure of liquids and gases
• 9027: instruments for physical or chemical analysis, such as spectrometers
• 9013: lasers and other optical appliances n.e.c. in the chapter
