Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 902300 when importing or exporting instruments and models specifically designed for educational demonstrations. For example, a science lab might need a model of the human heart that showcases its anatomy without being suitable for medical use.
This code is distinct from HS-6 902200, which covers instruments for medical or surgical purposes. While both fall under the same heading, 902300 is strictly for educational tools that cannot be used for practical applications.
Instruments classified under HS-6 902300 include items like physics demonstration kits, anatomical models for classrooms, and chemistry apparatus meant solely for display. These items are not intended for practical application outside of educational contexts.
When considering HS-6 902300, think about the end-use of your products. If they are solely for teaching or exhibition purposes and not for practical use, this is the correct classification.
