Code 9015 90 · Heading 9015

Parts and accessories for surveying, mapping, levelling, photography, water, weather, geophysical instruments and rangefinders

This code covers parts and accessories for instruments and apparatus used in geodesy, topography, surveying, levelling, photogrammetry, hydrography, oceanography, hydrology, meteorology or geophysics, and for rangefinders. It applies when the part or accessory is not covered by one of the specifically named neighbouring product classes.

For example

A replacement part for a hydrology instrument, rather than a distance meter, theodolite, tacheometer, levelling apparatus or photogrammetry instrument
An accessory for a geophysics instrument, rather than a distance meter, theodolite, tacheometer, levelling apparatus or photogrammetry instrument
