HS code for Industrial pump: 8413.81
Pumps and liquid elevators, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413.
Classification of industrial pump under HS 8413.81
Industrial pumps for liquids are classified under HS code 8413.81 when they do not meet the specific criteria for other subheadings within heading 8413. This heading covers a vast array of pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device, as well as liquid elevators. The classification 8413.81 serves as the "other pumps" category, encompassing specialized industrial equipment that does not utilize reciprocating positive displacement (8413.50), rotary positive displacement (8413.60), or centrifugal (8413.70) mechanisms. These pumps are often used in heavy manufacturing, chemical transfer, and specialized fluid management systems where unique mechanical actions are required. The classification is based on the mechanical principle of the pump and its intended use for moving liquids. It is important to note that the pump must be designed for liquids; if the device is designed for air or vacuum, it moves to heading 8414. Industrial pumps under 8413.81 are typically heavy-duty and integrated into larger industrial processes.

Codes often confused with 8413.81
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is 8413.70, which covers centrifugal pumps, the most prevalent type in industry. Another frequent error is 8414.10, which is for vacuum pumps, or 8414.80, which is for air pumps. It is vital to confirm the pump is for liquids and that its mechanism is not centrifugal or rotary before using 8413.81.
Top exporters and importers of HS 841381 (the code used for industrial pump), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 841381 (the code used for industrial pump) in UN Comtrade data was Italy, with 18% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 8.6% of world imports.

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).
