HS Code for Gas meter

Gas meters are classified under HS code 902810. This code is situated within Chapter 90, which covers optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus. Heading 9028 specifically includes gas, liquid, or electricity supply or production meters, including calibrating meters. The subheading 10 is dedicated to gas meters. These devices are used to measure the volume of gas passing through a pipe, typically for billing purposes in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. The classification applies regardless of the technology used, whether it is a traditional diaphragm meter, a rotary meter, or a modern ultrasonic smart meter, provided its primary function is the measurement of gas supply or production.

Products Included

• Residential diaphragm gas meters
• Industrial rotary gas meters
• Turbine gas meters for supply lines
• Ultrasonic gas supply meters
• Prepayment gas meters

Common Misclassification

Gas meters are frequently confused with flow meters classified under HS code 902610. The distinction is that 9028 covers meters used for the supply or production of gas (often for billing), while 9026 covers instruments for measuring or checking the flow of liquids or gases for process control or general measurement. Another common error is classifying parts of a gas meter under 902810; parts should be classified under 902890. Additionally, gas leak detectors are not classified here; they belong under 902710 as gas analysis apparatus.
