HS Code 9025.19 – Thermometers and pyrometers; (other than liquid filled, for direct reading), not combined with other instruments
HS code 9025.19 is the 6-digit subheading for thermometers and pyrometers, (other than liquid filled, for direct reading), not combined with other instruments. It is used for digital thermometers, infrared thermometers, bimetallic thermometers, thermocouple thermometers and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).
What HS 9025.19 covers
This HS code covers a diverse array of modern thermometers and pyrometers that are not liquid-filled and provide direct readings, but are not combined with other instruments. This includes advanced digital, infrared, bimetallic, and thermocouple-based devices. These instruments are essential for precise temperature monitoring across a vast range of industries, including HVAC, food processing, medical diagnostics, manufacturing, and consumer applications. Importers are typically electronics distributors, industrial suppliers, and retail chains seeking accurate and versatile temperature measurement solutions. Exporters are often specialized manufacturers of sensors, electronics, and precision instruments. The trade in these goods is driven by technological advancements, increasing demand for accuracy, and stringent quality control requirements across global markets.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
