8413.50.00

Analysis

HTS 8413.50.00 covers pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device; liquid elevators; part thereof: other reciprocating positive displacement pumps under heading 8413 (pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device; liquid elevators; part…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.5%. Compared with 8413.91.10 (of fuel-injection pumps for compression-ignition engines), which pays 2.5%, a misclassification either way moves 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.

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

The ten-digit suffixes separate oil well and oil field pumps, diaphragm pumps and radial piston type. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
