Importers of Parts & Accessories for Gas, Liquid, and Electricity Meters (incl. Calibrating Meters) paid $2.2M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 3.53% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.

Last updated: August 2026 dataReplacement components, sub-assemblies, and calibrating meters for gas, liquid, and electricity supply meters split at the 10-digit level between electricity meter parts (9028900040) and parts for gas and liquid meters (9028900080). Mexico and Vietnam lead US import supply, with Israel, Malaysia, and Canada also prominent — a geographically diverse sourcing base that reflects the global electronics and precision-machining supply chains feeding the utility metering aftermarket. Correct classification between these two lines depends on whether the part is dedicated to electricity meters or to gas/liquid meters, and misclassification can affect applicable duty rates and trade-remedy exposure.

When a part is not exclusively dedicated to one meter type, classification follows the general rules of interpretation, including GRI 3(c) if the part serves multiple headings equally. In practice, the manufacturer's documentation identifying the part's primary design purpose is the strongest evidence. A binding ruling from US Customs and Border Protection is advisable for high-volume, ambiguous components.
Yes — calibrating meters (used to verify or adjust the accuracy of supply meters) are explicitly included in heading 902890 as accessories, not in the headings covering the meters themselves. This means a portable calibration unit for gas meters, for example, enters under 902890 rather than 902810, regardless of its standalone measurement capability.
