U.S. imports of Totalizing Fluid Meters & Counting Devices (NAICS 334514) totaled $195.5M in August 2026, imported from 57 countries.
Importers of Totalizing Fluid Meters & Counting Devices paid $7.3M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 3.79% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataWater meters, gas meters, electricity sub-meters, and mechanical or electronic counting devices used in utility billing and industrial flow measurement define the commercial scope of NAICS 334514. These instruments are subject to weights-and-measures approval requirements in most US states, meaning that imported meters must often meet NIST Handbook 44 standards or equivalent before they can be legally used in commerce. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically targeted certain utility meters from specific origins, so importers should conduct an AD/CVD scope review before sourcing. Classification between fluid meters and counting devices can be consequential, as the two product types may fall under different HTS headings.

Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have been applied to certain utility meters — including water meters — from specific countries in the past. Importers should check the current scope of any active AD/CVD orders with the International Trade Administration and confirm whether their product and origin combination falls within scope before committing to a sourcing arrangement.
Most US states require that utility meters used in commercial transactions be 'legal for trade,' meaning they must conform to NIST Handbook 44 specifications and receive approval from the relevant state weights-and-measures authority. Importers should verify that foreign manufacturers have obtained the necessary type-approval certifications before the meters are deployed in billing applications.
