HS Code for Pressure sensor

Pressure sensors are classified under HS code 902620. This heading covers instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking the flow, level, pressure, or other variables of liquids or gases. Subheading 902620 specifically identifies instruments for measuring or checking pressure. These devices function by converting physical pressure into an electrical signal or a mechanical display. The classification includes a variety of technologies, such as strain gauges, capacitive sensors, and piezoelectric sensors, provided their primary purpose is the measurement of pressure. Unlike controllers, these instruments do not necessarily include the mechanism to automatically regulate the pressure; they are primarily used for monitoring, data acquisition, and safety checks. The classification remains in 902620 regardless of whether the output is analog or digital, as long as the device is an instrument for measuring the variable of pressure in a fluid or gas medium. This code is essential for components used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial process monitoring.

Products Included

• Pressure transducers
• Digital pressure sensors
• Analog pressure gauges
• Vacuum sensors and gauges
• Hydrostatic pressure sensors
• Electronic pressure transmitters

Common Misclassification

Pressure sensors are frequently confused with 903220 (pressure controllers/manostats). The distinction lies in the function: 902620 is for measurement only, while 903220 is for automatic regulation. They are also sometimes misclassified under 853650 if they are perceived as simple switches, but if the device provides a continuous measurement or a specific pressure reading, 902620 is the correct heading. Furthermore, sensors that measure variables other than pressure (like flow) should be classified under other subheadings of 9026.
