HS-6 · Subheading
841360
Pumps; rotary positive displacement pumps, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413, for liquids
Heading 8413 — Pumps; for liquids, whether or not fitted with measuring device, liquid elevators
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 841360 when importing or exporting rotary positive displacement pumps designed for liquids, such as those used in industrial applications. For example, a shipment of a rotary pump used in a chemical processing plant would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers pumps that are not classified elsewhere in heading 8413, which includes various types of liquid pumps. Unlike HS-6 841330, which pertains to centrifugal pumps, 841360 focuses exclusively on rotary positive displacement designs, which operate differently by moving liquid through a fixed volume.
When dealing with 841360, you might encounter pumps used in hydraulic systems, food processing, or oil extraction. These pumps are characterized by their ability to maintain a consistent flow rate regardless of pressure changes, making them essential in many applications.
If you're unsure whether your pump qualifies under this code, consider the design and application. Rotary positive displacement pumps are typically identified by their mechanism, which can include gear, diaphragm, or screw types.
