Product classification
HS code for Recording multimeter: 9030.32
Multimeters, for measuring or checking voltage, current, resistance or power, with a recording device.
Classification of recording multimeter under HS 9030.32
A recording multimeter is classified under HS code 903032. This classification is used for multimeters designed to measure or check electrical quantities such as voltage, current, resistance, or power, provided they are equipped with a recording device. The "recording" aspect refers to the instrument's ability to store measurement data over time, either internally or by outputting to a printer or digital log. This distinguishes it from standard multimeters that only provide a real-time display. The classification is governed by the functional capability of the device to perform multiple electrical measurements and its integrated data-logging feature.

Codes often confused with 9030.32
Common mistake. Recording multimeters are often misclassified under 903031, which is for multimeters without a recording device. Another common error is using 903033, which covers other instruments for measuring voltage or current that do not have a recording device and are not multimeters. If the device is primarily an oscilloscope rather than a multimeter, it would fall under 903020. Precision is required in identifying whether the device measures multiple parameters and whether it has a persistent recording function.
Top exporters and importers of HS 903032 (the code used for recording multimeter), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 903032 (the code used for recording multimeter) in UN Comtrade data was the Netherlands, with 17% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 13% 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).
