Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 841381 when importing or exporting pumps and liquid elevators that are not specifically classified elsewhere in heading 8413. For instance, this code applies to a submersible pump used in agricultural irrigation.
This code is distinct from HS-6 841330, which covers pumps specifically designed for the transfer of liquids with measuring devices. If your pump lacks such features, 841381 is likely the correct classification.
The 841381 line encompasses various types of pumps and liquid elevators, including those used in industrial applications or for transferring fluids in construction. It’s important to ensure your product fits the description to avoid misclassification.
When dealing with pumps, consider the end-use and design features. For example, a bilge pump for boats would fall under this code, while a metering pump would not.
