About heading 9017
Drawing, marking-out or mathematical calculating instruments (for example, drafting machines, pantographs, protractors, drawing sets, slide rules, disc calculators); instruments for measuring length, for use in the hand (for example, measuring rods and tapes, micrometers, calipers), not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts and accessories thereof
Heading 9017 covers non-optical hand tools for drawing, marking out and calculating, plus hand-held instruments for measuring length such as micrometers and calipers, and their parts. It splits into drafting tables and machines (9017.10), other drawing and calculating instruments (9017.20), micrometers, calipers and gauges (9017.30), a residual other instruments line (9017.80), and parts and accessories (9017.90). Plotters enter free of duty in both 9017.10 and 9017.20, while most other lines carry a low single-digit rate.
