8413.40.00

Analysis

HTS 8413.40.00 covers pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device; liquid elevators; part thereof: concrete pumps under heading 8413 (pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device; liquid elevators; part…).

Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 2.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 8413.91.10 (of fuel-injection pumps for compression-ignition engines), at 2.5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 2.5 percentage points.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 35% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 35% duty.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing), an industry of 651 US establishments employing 64,700 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
