Orthopedic appliances include footwear and special insoles designed to correct orthopedic conditions, provided that they are either (1) made to measure or (2) mass-produced, entered singly and not in pairs and designed to fit either foot equally. 7. Heading 9032 applies only to: (a). Instruments and apparatus for automatically controlling the flow, level, pressure or other variables of liquids or gases, or for automatically controlling temperature, whether or not their operation depends on an electrical phenomenon which varies according to the factor to be automatically controlled, which are designed to bring this factor to, and maintain it at, a desired value, stabilized against disturbances, by constantly or periodically measuring its actual value. (b). Automatic regulators of electrical quantities, and instruments or apparatus for automatically controlling non-electrical quantities the operation of which depends on a electrical phenomenon varying according to the factor to be controlled, which are designed to bring this factor to, and maintain it at, a desired value, stabilized against disturbances, by constantly or periodically measuring its actual value. Statistical Notes 1. For statistical reporting purposes under subheading 9001.10, the unit of quantity "fib m" (fiber meters), as it pertains to optical fiber bundles and cables, is determined by multiplyin the number of individual fibers contained therein by the length in meters. 2. For the purpose of headings 9001 and 9002, the term "optically worked" refers to glass the surface of which has been ground or polished in order to produce the required optical properties. 3. For the purpose of this chapter, the term "electrical" when used in reference to instruments, appliances, apparatus and machines, refers to those articles the operation of which depends on an electrical phenomenon which varies according to the factor to be ascertained. 4. For the purpose of this chapter, the terms "optical appliances" and "optical instruments" refer only to those appliances and instruments which incorporate one or more optical elements, but do not include any appliances or instruments in which the incorporated optical elements are solely for viewing a scale or for some other subsidiary purpose. 9001 Optical fibers and optical fiber bundles; optical fiber cables other than those of heading 8544; sheets and plates of polarizing material; lenses (including contact lenses), prisms, mirrors and other optical elements, of any material, unmounted, other than such elements of glass not optically worked: 9001100000 Optical fibers, optical fiber bundles and cables Fib m 9001200000 Sheets and plates of polarizing material . .kg 9001300000 Contact lenses . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .No. 9001400000 Spectacle lenses of glass . . . . . . . . . .Prs 9001500000 Spectacle lenses of other materials . . . . .Prs 900190 Other: 9001901000 Lenses, prisms, and mirrors . . . . . . .
