Last updated: April 2026 dataLiquid meters for supply or production measurement — covering flow meters used in water distribution, fuel dispensing, and industrial process control — enter under a single tariff line (9028200000). Mexico leads US imports, followed by Israel and Denmark, reflecting both proximity-driven manufacturing and the strong European tradition in precision flow-measurement technology. Classification hinges on distinguishing supply/production meters from other flow-measuring instruments classified elsewhere in Chapter 90, making the intended end-use a key factor in correct HTS placement.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Liquid meters under 902820 are specifically designed to measure the quantity of liquid supplied or produced — typically for billing or custody-transfer purposes. General-purpose flow meters used for process monitoring or control may fall under other Chapter 90 headings. The intended function (quantity measurement for supply/production vs. process control) and the meter's design features are the primary classification criteria; consult a licensed customs broker for borderline cases.
Standard import documentation applies, but buyers should also obtain calibration certificates and conformity documentation from the manufacturer, as many US states require weights-and-measures type approval for meters used in commercial transactions. For fuel-dispensing applications, EPA and state environmental regulations may impose additional equipment certification requirements.
