HS Code 8413.60 – Pumps; rotary positive displacement pumps, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413, for liquids
HS code 8413.60 is the 6-digit subheading for pumps, rotary positive displacement pumps, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413, for liquids. It is used for gear pumps, lobe pumps, screw pumps, vane pumps (rotary) and peristaltic pumps.
What HS 8413.60 covers
This HS code covers rotary positive displacement pumps for liquids, not elsewhere specified within heading 8413. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed volume of fluid and moving it using a rotating mechanism, making them ideal for handling viscous fluids, providing pulsation-free flow, and maintaining constant flow rates against varying pressures. They are extensively used in industries such as petroleum, food and beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Importers include processing plants, oil refineries, and specialized machinery builders. Exporters are typically manufacturers of industrial pumps and fluid transfer systems. The trade emphasizes robust construction, material compatibility, efficiency, and the ability to handle a wide range of fluid viscosities. Demand is driven by industrial growth, process automation, and the need for reliable and precise fluid transfer in critical applications. These pumps are essential for applications requiring gentle handling of shear-sensitive liquids or high-viscosity product transfer.

Codes often confused with 8413.60
Common mistake. This code is defined by its "rotary positive displacement" mechanism, distinguishing it from reciprocating positive displacement pumps (841350) and centrifugal pumps (841370).
Top exporters and importers of HS code 841360, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 841360 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 19% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 17% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
