Parts & Accessories for Gas, Liquid & Electricity Meters

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.
