Product classification
HS code for Manometer: 9026.20
Instruments and apparatus, for measuring or checking pressure.
Classification of manometer under HS 9026.20
The classification of a manometer under HS code 9026.20 is determined by its primary function as an instrument for measuring or checking the pressure of liquids or gases. Heading 9026 specifically covers instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking the flow, level, pressure, or other variables of liquids or gases. Within this heading, subheading 9026.20 is reserved for pressure-related devices. These instruments operate on various physical principles, such as the displacement of a liquid column, the deformation of an elastic element like a Bourdon tube or diaphragm, or through electrical sensors that convert pressure into an electronic signal. Because manometers are precision instruments used for monitoring system states rather than atmospheric conditions, they fall squarely into this category. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the device is analog or digital, provided it is designed for pressure measurement in pipes, tanks, or closed systems.

Codes often confused with 9026.20
Common mistake. Manometers are frequently confused with barometers, which are classified under HS code 9025.80. While both measure pressure, barometers are specifically designed for atmospheric pressure measurement in meteorological contexts. Another common error involves classifying electronic manometers under 9031.80, which covers other measuring or checking instruments. However, because 9026 specifically names pressure measurement, it takes precedence over the more general heading 9031. Additionally, flow meters (9026.10) are sometimes confused with manometers when the pressure drop is used to calculate flow, but the primary function of the device dictates the code.
Top exporters and importers of HS 902620 (the code used for manometer), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 902620 (the code used for manometer) in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 22% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 15% 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).
