Alternative Classifications

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

9028.90.00Lower: 35% vs 37.5%

If imported as replacement diaphragms or valves

Parts and accessories for gas meters are classified separately under 9028.90 rather than complete meters.

9031.80.80Lower: 35% vs 37.5%

If for non-utility industrial process monitoring

Measuring instruments not specifically for gas supply/production fall under general checking instruments in 9031.

8413.81.00Lower: 35% vs 37.5%

If incorporates pumps for gas sampling

Pumps with integrated measuring devices are classified in heading 8413 per chapter exclusions.
