Pumps, concrete pumps.
Classification of cement pump under HS 8413.40
Cement pumps, specifically concrete pumps, are classified under HS code 8413.40. Chapter 84 covers mechanical appliances, and heading 8413 is designated for pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device. Subheading 8413.40 is a specific provision for concrete pumps. These machines are designed to move liquid concrete through a delivery pipe or hose using hydraulic or mechanical pressure. They are essential in large-scale construction for reaching heights or distances where traditional pouring is impossible. The classification covers the pump unit itself, which may be stationary or trailer-mounted. The logic for this classification is based on the primary function of the device, which is the displacement of a liquid (in this case, wet concrete). Even though concrete is a heavy paste, it is treated as a liquid for the purposes of heading 8413. This classification is supported by GRI 1 and the specific subheading text.

Codes often confused with 8413.40
Common mistake. Cement pumps are often misclassified under 8413.70 (other centrifugal pumps) or 8413.81 (other pumps). However, 8413.40 is the most specific code. Another major confusion arises when the pump is permanently mounted on a truck chassis; in such cases, the entire unit is often classified under 8705.90 as a special purpose motor vehicle.

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).
