Meters, gas, supply or production meters, including calibrating meters thereof.
Classification of gas meter under HS 9028.10
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.

Codes often confused with 9028.10
Common mistake. 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.

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).
