HTS heading 9029 is a broad product category for instruments that count, measure, or display movement-related activity. It includes revolution counters, production counters, taximeters, odometers, pedometers, speedometers, tachometers, and stroboscopes, along with their parts and accessories. The heading excludes certain instruments covered by heading 9014 or 9015, so the instrument’s function and design matter.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first identify the product’s principal function and whether it is a complete instrument, a part, or an accessory. Then review the subheadings and statistical provisions under heading 9029, which may distinguish products by type, operating method, or construction or material. Do not assume that a product belongs in a “parts” provision merely because it is sold separately; confirm that it is identifiable for use with the covered instruments and is not more specifically classified elsewhere.
What to check
- Identify exactly what the item measures or counts, such as vehicle speed, engine revolutions, distance, steps, production output, or elapsed activity.
- Check whether the item is a complete measuring instrument, a replacement part, or an accessory, and review the legal notes and competing headings before using a parts provision.
- Read every 6-, 8-, and statistical-level description under heading 9029; select the provision that matches the product’s type, function, and construction rather than relying on a keyword.
- Verify whether the instrument is excluded because it is principally a navigation, surveying, or related instrument of heading 9014 or 9015.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, operating manuals, and part numbers, and obtain customs-broker or ruling advice when the function or classification is uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
