HS Code 9030.32 – Multimeters; for measuring or checking voltage, current, resistance or power, with a recording device
HS code 9030.32 is the 6-digit subheading for multimeters, for measuring or checking voltage, current, resistance or power, with a recording device. It is used for data logging multimeters, true-RMS recording multimeters, industrial recording multimeters, power quality analyzers (basic, multimeter-like) and benchtop recording multimeters.
What HS 9030.32 covers
This HS code covers advanced multimeters equipped with data logging or recording capabilities, allowing them to capture and store measurements over extended periods. These instruments are crucial for monitoring intermittent electrical issues, analyzing power quality, and performing long-term diagnostics in industrial, commercial, and research environments where continuous data collection is necessary. Importers are typically industrial maintenance companies, power utilities, R&D laboratories, and specialized electrical contractors who require detailed historical data for complex troubleshooting and analysis. Exporters are countries with strong electronics manufacturing and precision instrumentation industries, focusing on higher-end professional tools. The ability to record data adds significant value for identifying trends and diagnosing elusive electrical problems.

Codes often confused with 9030.32
Common mistake. The key distinction from 903031 is the recording capability; it can also be confused with more complex power analyzers (90308x) if its primary function is still multimeter-like.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 903032, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 903032 in UN Comtrade data was the Netherlands, with 17% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 13% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
