Product classification
HS code for Centrifugal pump: 8413.70
Pumps, centrifugal, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413, for liquids.
Classification of centrifugal pump under HS 8413.70
Centrifugal pumps are classified under HS code 8413.70. Heading 8413 covers pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device. The classification of centrifugal pumps is based on their mechanical operation, where fluid is moved by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to hydrodynamic energy. Subheading 8413.70 is a residual category for centrifugal pumps that are not specifically named in other subheadings of 8413. These pumps are ubiquitous in various industries, used for everything from water circulation to chemical processing. To fall under this code, the pump must be designed for liquids. The classification remains 8413.70 regardless of whether the pump is single-stage or multi-stage, or whether it is a submersible or surface-mounted unit, provided it does not meet the specific criteria of earlier subheadings such as those for fuel dispensing or internal combustion engines.

Codes often confused with 8413.70
Common mistake. Centrifugal pumps are frequently misclassified under 8413.11 or 8413.19 if they are used in gas stations or for dispensing fuel; however, those codes are only for pumps with measuring devices. Another common error is using 8413.30, which is strictly for pumps used in internal combustion engines (like automotive water pumps). If the pump is used for air or gases, it must be classified under 8414 instead of 8413. Importers also sometimes confuse centrifugal pumps with rotary positive displacement pumps, which fall under 8413.60.
Top exporters and importers of HS 841370 (the code used for centrifugal pump), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 841370 (the code used for centrifugal pump) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 27% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 11% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Figures cover everything classified under HS 841370, not only centrifugal pump.

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).

Questions about centrifugal pump
What is the HS code for Centrifugal pump?
The HS code for Centrifugal pump is 841370 (Pumps; centrifugal, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413, for liquids). The standard HS code for centrifugal pumps for liquids is 8413.70.
How do I classify Centrifugal pump for customs?
Centrifugal pump is classified under HS code 841370 — Pumps; centrifugal, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413, for liquids. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
Does the code change if the pump is submersible?
Generally, no. Most submersible pumps used for moving liquids via centrifugal force are still classified under 8413.70, unless they are specifically designed for a purpose covered by another subheading.
Which countries are the top exporters of centrifugal pump (HS 841370)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 841370 (the code used for centrifugal pump) in UN Comtrade data were China ($5.7B, 27% of world exports), Germany ($2.2B) and Italy ($1.5B). World exports came to about $21.2B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Which countries are the top importers of centrifugal pump (HS 841370)?
