Analysis
HTS 8413.70.20 covers other centrifugal pumps: other 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 8 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 submersible pumps, with discharge outlet under 5.08 cm in…, with discharge outlet 5.08 cm or over…, with discharge outlet under 7.6 cm in…, with discharge outlet 7.6 cm or over in… and single-stage, double-suction and 1 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
