U.S. imports of pressure measuring & checking instruments for liquids or gases (HS 902620) totaled $173.4M in April 2026, traded with 65 countries.
Importers of Pressure Measuring & Checking Instruments for Liquids or Gases paid $14.4M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $116.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPressure gauges, transducers, and transmitters for liquids and gases are widely used across oil and gas, chemical processing, HVAC, and semiconductor manufacturing. The US schedule subdivides this heading into electrical instruments (9026204000) and non-electrical types (9026208000), a distinction that drives both duty treatment and end-use classification decisions. Mexico leads US import supply, followed by Germany and China, reflecting both nearshore manufacturing of industrial sensors and European precision-instrument sourcing. Importers should confirm whether a device's primary function is pressure measurement or process control, as misclassification into Chapter 84 or 85 is a recurring audit issue.

Classification hinges on principal function: if the device's primary purpose is measuring or checking pressure of a liquid or gas, it belongs in heading 9026. Devices that primarily regulate or control a process (e.g., pressure regulators) may fall under Chapter 84, while standalone electronic components without a measurement display or output may fall under Chapter 85. A licensed customs broker or binding ruling from CBP is advisable for combination units.
Yes. Pressure measuring instruments imported from China are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs. The applicable list and rate tier depend on the specific 10-digit HTS subheading, so importers should verify current Section 301 exposure for each line before entry.
