Overview
This HTS category, 9028.30.00.00, specifically encompasses electricity meters. These devices are designed and calibrated to measure and record the consumption of electrical energy. They function by converting electrical power into a readable format, often displaying units of kilowatt-hours (kWh) or similar energy units. Examples include residential and commercial electricity meters used by utility companies for billing purposes.
It is important to distinguish these electricity meters from their sibling categories. HTS 9028.10.00.00 covers gas meters, which measure the volume of gas consumed, while HTS 9028.20.00.00 covers liquid meters, which measure the volume of liquids such as water or fuel. Both types of meters serve the purpose of measuring flow or consumption of specific utilities, but their measurement principles and applications are distinct, with this category being exclusively for electrical energy.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, HTS 9028.30.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading is determined solely by the nature of the apparatus as an electricity meter. Any parts or accessories specifically designed for these electricity meters would be classified under HTS 9028.90.00.
