Product classification
HS code for Pressure sensor: 9026.20
Instruments and apparatus, for measuring or checking pressure.
Classification of pressure sensor under HS 9026.20
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.

Codes often confused with 9026.20
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 902620 (the code used for pressure sensor), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 902620 (the code used for pressure sensor) 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.
Figures cover everything classified under HS 902620, not only pressure sensor.

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).
