The first two digits (90) place this code in chapter 90 — Optical, Medical, and Precision Instruments. Heading 9006 groups the product family, and the remaining digits pin down this specific 6-digit classification.

Medical and surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, meters, lenses, and precision instruments — much of it at concessional 12%.
