SITCSection 8
U.S. imports of speedometers, tachometers & stroboscopes (SITC 87325) totaled $99.7M in July 2026, traded with 45 countries.
Importers of Speedometers, Tachometers & Stroboscopes paid $2.9M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $17.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.

Basic heading 87325 · $99.7M of $44.8B
Mechanical and electronic speedometers for motor vehicles, engine tachometers for automotive and marine applications, and industrial stroboscopes used for rotational speed measurement and vibration analysis are grouped here based on their shared function of measuring velocity or rotational rate. Electronic tachometers and digital stroboscopes used in precision manufacturing — for balancing rotating machinery or inspecting high-speed production lines — represent the higher-value industrial segment of this heading. As with odometers, speedometers that arrive pre-integrated into a vehicle instrument cluster are typically classified with the cluster assembly rather than as standalone instruments, so the standalone aftermarket and OEM-supply channels are the primary import flows under this heading.

Yes — both fall within this heading because the classification is defined by the function of measuring speed or rotational rate rather than by the end-use sector. Industrial stroboscopes used for machinery inspection and automotive tachometers used for engine monitoring share the same SITC heading. However, at the HTS 10-digit level, the applicable tariff line may differ based on design or application, so importers should verify the specific subheading for each product type.
The key documentation is technical specification sheets confirming that the device's primary designed function is measuring rotational speed or velocity — not general-purpose voltage, current, or signal measurement. Manufacturer product catalogs, engineering drawings, and any applicable calibration certificates that reference RPM or speed measurement are useful supporting records. If the device has multiple measurement functions, a principal-use declaration from the manufacturer strengthens the classification position under this heading.
