Heading 9016 · $4.0M of $10.5B
No. Heading 9016 is limited to balances with a sensitivity of 5 cg or better (i.e., capable of detecting 5 cg or less). A balance that cannot resolve differences finer than, say, 10 cg falls outside this heading and would classify under a different measuring or weighing instrument heading. The manufacturer's published resolution specification is the operative figure.
Calibration weights sold as part of a balance set are covered by heading 9016. Weights imported separately, however, are typically classified under the heading for weights of all kinds, not here. The key is whether the weights are presented together with the balance as a set at the time of importation.
