Product classification
HS code for Digital thermometer: 9025.19
Thermometers and pyrometers, (other than liquid filled, for direct reading), not combined with other instruments.
Classification of digital thermometer under HS 9025.19
Digital thermometers are classified under HS code 9025.19. This code is part of Chapter 90, which includes measuring and checking instruments. Heading 9025 specifically covers hydrometers, thermometers, pyrometers, barometers, and similar instruments. Within this heading, a distinction is made between liquid-filled thermometers for direct reading (9025.11) and "other" thermometers (9025.19). Since digital thermometers operate using electronic sensors (such as thermistors or thermocouples) rather than liquid expansion, they fall into the "other" category. This classification applies regardless of whether the thermometer is used for clinical, industrial, or household purposes, provided it is not combined with other instruments like hygrometers or barometers.

Codes often confused with 9025.19
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with liquid-in-glass thermometers, which belong under 9025.11. Another frequent error involves digital weather stations; if the thermometer is combined with a hygrometer or barometer in a single housing, the entire unit is classified under 9025.80. Additionally, if a thermometer is part of a larger medical diagnostic system or a complex laboratory instrument, it might be classified under the heading for that specific machinery (e.g., 9018 for medical instruments) rather than as a standalone thermometer.
Top exporters and importers of HS 902519 (the code used for digital thermometer), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 902519 (the code used for digital thermometer) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 20% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 14% 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).
