Analysis
HTS 8413.92.00 covers of liquid elevators under heading 8413 (pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device; liquid elevators; part…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 2.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 8413.91.10 (of fuel-injection pumps for compression-ignition engines) at 2.5%, a difference of 2.5 points on the customs value.
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.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84 that are also free. 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 333914 (Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing), an industry of 552 US establishments employing 37,309 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
