About HS Code 841320
This HS code specifically identifies hand-operated pumps equipped with a measuring device, excluding the more specialized fuel/lubricant dispensers (841311) and other industrial liquid pumps with measuring devices (841319). This niche category serves applications where portability, manual operation, and precise measurement are required, often in situations without readily available power or for smaller-scale operations. Importers include agricultural suppliers, small workshops, laboratories, and emergency services. Exporters are typically manufacturers specializing in manual fluid handling equipment. The trade emphasizes robustness, ease of use, accuracy for manual operation, and material compatibility with various liquids. These pumps are crucial for tasks like transferring small volumes of chemicals, oils, or water with a need for measured dispensing, often in remote or field environments. Their simplicity and independence from power sources make them valuable in specific, often less industrialized, contexts or for backup systems.
Products Under This Code
