U.S. imports of speedometers, tachometers & stroboscopes (HS 902920) totaled $111.2M in April 2026, traded with 42 countries.
Importers of Speedometers, Tachometers & Stroboscopes paid $3.9M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $22.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAutomotive and aviation applications drive the bulk of trade under this heading, which the US schedule subdivides by end-use: bicycle speedometers (9029202000), civil aircraft instruments (9029204040), general speedometers and tachometers not for civil aircraft (9029204080 and 9029205000), and stroboscopes (9029206000). Mexico and Japan are the top two US import sources, reflecting deep integration with North American automotive OEM supply chains and Japan's precision-instrument manufacturing base. The civil aircraft sub-line carries distinct classification significance because aviation instruments are subject to FAA airworthiness documentation requirements that do not apply to automotive or industrial variants.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Instruments classified under the civil aircraft sub-line must be accompanied by FAA Form 8130-3 (Airworthiness Approval Tag) or an equivalent EASA Form 1 from an approved repair station, confirming the article meets applicable airworthiness standards. This documentation is required for installation on type-certificated aircraft and should be obtained from the manufacturer or an FAA-approved supplier before importation.
A standalone stroboscope enters under 9029206000. When a stroboscope is a functional component of a larger instrument — such as a vibration analyzer or a multi-function tachometer — classification follows GRI 1 and GRI 3, with the essential character of the complete instrument determining the heading. If the stroboscope function is ancillary to the primary measurement purpose, the complete instrument may classify elsewhere in Chapter 90.
