A commercial device is any weighing, measuring, metering or counting device used to either: 1) determine the direct cost of items for sale; or 2) establish a fee for service if the cost is based on weight, measure or count. Devices used for in-house packaging, inventory control or law enforcement purposes are not considered commercial devices (A.R.S. § 3-3401).

Commercial devices installed and used in Arizona are required to be licensed by the Division within 30 days of the first commercial use and licenses must be renewed annually (A.R.S. § 3-3451).

A.R.S. § 3-3452 outlines the fees for licensure of devices used for commercial purposes and a list of the fees can be found on the Arizona Department of Agriculture's website.
