HS code 9026 is the customs heading for instruments that measure or check flow, level or pressure in liquids and gases. Use this page to see what fits, what does not, and which subheading to pick.
Goods answering to “Instruments, apparatus for measuring or checking the flow, level, pressure of liquids, gases (e.g. flow meters, heat meters etc), not instruments and apparatus of heading no. 9014, 9015, 9028 or 9032” split into 4 six-digit codes, 902610 through 902690. Each one carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 25 of 32 in Chapter 90, Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories, which runs to 143 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 9026
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 902610 | Instruments and apparatus; for measuring or checking the flow or level of liquids |
| 902620 | Instruments and apparatus; for measuring or checking pressure |
| 902680 | Instruments and apparatus; for measuring or checking variables of liquids or gases (excluding pressure or the flow and level of liquids and those of heading no. 9014, 9015, 9028 and 9032) |
| 902690 | Instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories for those measuring or checking the flow, level, pressure or other variables of liquids or gases (excluding those of heading no. 9014, 9015, 9028 or 9032) |
What HS code 9026 covers
This heading groups tools that measure or check a liquid or a gas. The heading text names flow meters and heat meters as examples. Pressure gauges, manometers and level gauges also belong here. You may also see it written as HSN code 9026. It is the same heading.
The test is simple. The tool must measure or check flow, level, pressure or another variable of a liquid or gas. A tool that mainly reads something else, such as air temperature, usually sits in a different heading.
How to confirm the correct HS code for flow meters and pressure gauges
Start with what the device measures. Then match it to one of the four subheadings. Always compare your product with the full customs wording before you file.
If a device measures the flow of a gas, note that 902610 names only the flow or level of liquids. Going by the wording, check 902680 for that case.
- 902680: instruments for other variables of liquids or gases, once pressure and liquid flow and level are ruled out.
Difference between HS 9026 and 9028 meters, and other nearby headings
The heading text itself leaves out four headings: 9014, 9015, 9028 and 9032. A few other headings in the chapter are also easy to mix up with it. Check these before you settle on a code.
- It also covers calibrating meters for them. Meters of this kind go there, not under 9026.
- A 9026 instrument measures or checks. It does not run an automatic control.
- 9014 covers navigational instruments and direction finding compasses.
- 9015 covers surveying, hydrographic, oceanographic, hydrological, meteorological and geophysical instruments.
- 9025 covers hydrometers, thermometers, pyrometers, barometers and hygrometers.
- 9027 covers instruments for physical or chemical analysis, and for viscosity and porosity.
- 9031 covers measuring or checking instruments not named elsewhere in the chapter.
