Frequently asked questions
I make optical exposure meters and rangefinders — is the code 26.70.12 or the general optical instruments code?
Yes, exposure meters, rangefinders, and optical comparators fall under 26.70.12, because their purpose is to measure and control by means of optics. If, however, your product is an optical instrument without a measuring function — for example a binocular or a microscope — then the correct code is 26.70.11.
I make laser rangefinders — do they fall under 26.70.12 or under radar and navigation instruments?
Usually 26.70.12, if the distance is measured optically. When you are dealing with true radar systems or GPS and sonar systems, however, the correct code is 26.51.10. The distinguishing factor is the technology: optics here, radio waves or satellite there.
I make photographic exposure meters — do they go under 26.70.12 or together with cameras?
Yes, exposure meters fall under 26.70.12 because they are optical measuring and control instruments, even if they are ultimately used by photographers. The camera itself and its lenses, on the other hand, have their own code at 26.70.30. The key question is whether the product measures light or whether it is the camera that captures the image.
