U.S. imports of Parts & Accessories for Liquid & Gas Measuring Instruments (HS 902690) totaled $70.0M in August 2026, imported from 68 countries.

Last updated: August 2026 dataReplacement and aftermarket components for flow meters, pressure gauges, level sensors, and heat meters fall under this heading, making it a high-volume category for MRO procurement in the energy, chemical, and water-utility sectors. The US schedule separates parts for electrical instruments (9026902000), parts for flow and heat meters (9026904000), and other non-electrical parts (9026906000). Mexico and Germany are the leading sources, with Switzerland — home to several precision-instrument manufacturers — also a notable supplier. Correct parts classification requires linking the component back to the parent instrument's heading, and misidentification of a subassembly as a finished instrument is a common entry error.

A printed circuit board assembly that is identifiable as solely or principally used in a pressure measuring instrument of heading 9026 should classify as a part under 9026902000 (for electrical instrument parts) rather than as a standalone electronic assembly under Chapter 85. The key is demonstrating dedicated use through technical documentation or the manufacturer's bill of materials.
