HS Code 8413.81 – Pumps and liquid elevators; n.e.c. in heading no. 8413
HS code 8413.81 is the 6-digit subheading for pumps and liquid elevators, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413. It is used for centrifugal pumps, diaphragm pumps, gear pumps, screw pumps and submersible pumps.
What HS 8413.81 covers
This HS code encompasses a broad array of pumps and liquid elevators not specifically classified elsewhere within heading 8413, making it a catch-all for diverse fluid handling equipment. It covers everything from industrial process pumps to specialized agricultural irrigation systems and municipal water treatment pumps. Major importers and exporters include industrialized nations like Germany, China, the USA, and Japan, which have robust manufacturing bases and significant demand for infrastructure and industrial machinery. Key things to know involve the wide range of applications, from chemical processing and oil & gas to food & beverage and wastewater management. Trade in these goods is often driven by infrastructure development, industrial expansion, and technological advancements in fluid dynamics, requiring careful consideration of pump type, capacity, material, and intended use for accurate classification and trade compliance.

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).
