SITCSection 8
U.S. imports of parts & accessories for gas, liquid & electricity meters (SITC 87319) totaled $75.7M in April 2026, traded with 32 countries.
Importers of Parts & Accessories for Gas, Liquid & Electricity Meters paid $2.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $17.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataReplacement and aftermarket components for utility and industrial meters — including register assemblies, index mechanisms, pulse output modules, communication boards, and calibration weights — are traded under this heading, serving both OEM repair channels and independent meter-service companies. Classification of a specific component here rather than under a more specific heading (e.g., electronic components or printed circuit assemblies) requires that the part be identifiable as solely or principally used with gas, liquid, or electricity meters. Importers sourcing smart-meter communication modules as standalone parts should be aware that the same supply-chain security considerations applicable to complete smart meters may extend to replacement communication boards.

A PCB that is identifiable as solely or principally used in electricity meters is generally classified as a meter part or accessory under this heading rather than as a generic printed circuit assembly. The key evidence is design specificity: boards with meter-specific firmware, form factors, or connector configurations that preclude general-purpose use support classification here. Importers should retain technical drawings and manufacturer declarations confirming the dedicated end-use to support their classification rationale.
Parts and accessories for electricity meters are classified separately from complete meters, and their Section 301 tariff exposure depends on the specific HTS subheading applicable to the part rather than the subheading for the finished meter. In practice, communication modules sourced from affected countries may carry Section 301 exposure under their own classification. Importers should conduct a line-by-line tariff analysis for each part number rather than assuming the same duty treatment as the complete meter.
