HS Code 9028.10 – Meters; gas, supply or production meters, including calibrating meters thereof
HS code 9028.10 is the 6-digit subheading for meters, gas, supply or production meters, including calibrating meters thereof. It is used for residential gas meters, industrial gas meters, commercial gas meters, turbine gas meters and rotary gas meters.
What HS 9028.10 covers
This category covers meters specifically designed for measuring the supply or production of gas, including their calibrating counterparts. These instruments are fundamental to utilities, industrial processes, and commercial applications for accurate billing, process control, and resource management. They are essential for natural gas distribution networks, industrial gas consumption monitoring, and biogas production facilities, ensuring fair trade and efficient resource allocation. Importers are typically utility companies, industrial plants, energy providers, and construction firms involved in infrastructure development. Exporters are specialized manufacturers of metering technology. Accuracy, durability, compliance with national measurement standards, and smart metering capabilities are critical factors driving their international trade.

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).
