Electromagnetic Flow Meter
An electromagnetic flow meter, or magmeter, measures the flow of conductive liquids by applying a magnetic field and sensing the induced voltage, per Faraday's law. It is used in wastewater and other industrial applications where non-invasive, accurate flow measurement is required. This instrument falls under tariff item 9026.80.00 as an 'other instrument or apparatus' for measuring or checking the flow of liquids.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the flow meter is for measuring or checking the flow or level of liquids
This subheading specifically covers instruments for measuring or checking the flow or level of liquids, which may be more specific than the residual 'other' item.
If the flow meter is designed to automatically control the flow by constantly measuring and adjusting it
Instruments designed for automatic control of variables are classified in heading 90.32, not 90.26.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the device is not designed for automatic control, as that would shift classification to heading 90.32
• Have technical documentation ready to confirm it measures flow via electromagnetic principles
• Verify if the meter includes any electrical components that might require CSA or similar certification for use in Canadian industrial settings
