HS-4 · Heading

8414 — Air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan; gas-tight biological safety cabinets whether or not fitted with filters

Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8414 when importing air or vacuum pumps, gas compressors, or fans. For example, if you're shipping a vacuum pump used in a laboratory setting, this heading applies. It covers a variety of devices designed to move air or gases, including those with specific applications like refrigeration or biological safety.

Choosing the right HS-6 code can be tricky. For instance, if your product is a hand-operated air pump, you should classify it under 841420. However, if it’s an air compressor mounted on a wheeled chassis, 841440 is the correct choice. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper tariff classification.

If your shipment includes a ventilating hood with a fan that measures less than 120 cm on its longest side, use 841460. For larger hoods or those not fitting specific criteria, you might need to look at 841480, which covers pumps and compressors not elsewhere classified. Always check the dimensions and features to ensure accurate classification.
