Totalizing Fluid Meters & Counting Devices

Water 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.
