HS Code for Fuel pump

HS code 841330 is designated for fuel, lubricating, or cooling medium pumps specifically designed for use with internal combustion piston engines. This classification is based on the component's role as an essential auxiliary part of an engine's operation. According to the Section XVI notes of the Harmonized System, parts that are suitable for use solely or principally with a particular kind of machine are classified with those machines, but heading 8413 provides a specific carve-out for pumps. Subheading 841330 captures the technical variety of pumps required to maintain engine performance, including those for spark-ignition and compression-ignition (diesel) engines. The classification applies regardless of the pump's mechanical drive mechanism—whether it is driven by the engine's crankshaft, a camshaft, or an independent electric motor—provided its primary function is the circulation of fluids within the engine's internal systems. This includes the delivery of fuel to injectors, the circulation of oil for lubrication, and the movement of coolant to prevent overheating.

Products Included

• Electric fuel pumps for passenger vehicles
• Mechanical fuel lift pumps for diesel engines
• Engine oil pumps
• Water pumps for engine cooling systems
• High-pressure fuel injection pumps

Common Misclassification

A common misclassification occurs with HS code 841311, which is intended for dispensing pumps at gas stations. Users often confuse the two because both involve "fuel pumps," but 841330 is strictly for engine components. Additionally, general-purpose water pumps are sometimes incorrectly classified here; if a water pump is not specifically designed for an internal combustion engine, it should be classified under 841370 or 841381.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Fuel pump?

The HS code for a fuel pump designed for an internal combustion engine is 841330.

Are electric fuel pumps classified differently than mechanical ones?

No, both electric and mechanical fuel pumps for engines are classified under HS code 841330, as the classification is based on the pump's application rather than its power source.
