HS code for wattmeters
In the UK Trade Tariff’s list of everyday names, “wattmeters” points to heading 9030: oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and other instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking electrical quantities, excluding meters of heading 9028; instruments and apparatus for measuring or detecting alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, cosmic or other ionising radiation. Check the description and the notes of the chapter before declaring: the right code depends on what the goods are made of and how they are used.
In the UK Global Tariff, 9030 covers 14 tariff lines and the duty is duty-free.
The EU Combined Nomenclature divides 9030 into 12 tariff lines; the duty is between 0% and 2.1% (average 0.2%). 11 of them are duty-free.
