Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

9026.10.60.00Same rate: 17.5%

If designed for measuring flow of gases instead of liquids

Gas flow meters are classified separately in the same heading but different subheading based on medium

9032.90Lower: 11.7% vs 17.5%

If it includes automatic flow control functionality

Instruments with automatic regulating features fall under heading 9032 per chapter notes

8413.60.00.40Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If incorporated as an integral part of a liquid pump assembly

Pump components with measuring devices are classified with pumps in heading 8413 per exclusions
