Heading 9028Gas, liquid or electricity supply or production meters, including calibrating meters therefor

Chapter 90: Optical, photographic, medical instruments

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 902810 when importing or exporting gas supply meters, which are essential for measuring gas consumption in residential or commercial settings. For example, a shipment of residential gas meters used for utility billing falls under this code.

This code specifically applies to gas meters that measure the volume of gas consumed, distinguishing them from liquid or electricity meters classified under different codes, such as HS-6 902820 for liquid meters.

When classifying products, ensure they are designed for gas measurement and not for other utilities. For instance, a gas meter with a digital display used in a factory setting would be classified here, while a similar device for measuring water would not.

Understanding the nuances between gas meters and other types of measuring devices is crucial for compliance and accurate tariff classification. Always check if your product includes calibration features, as this can affect its classification.
