Product classification
HS code for Rotary pump: 8413.60
Pumps, rotary positive displacement pumps, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413, for liquids.
Classification of rotary pump under HS 8413.60
Rotary pumps are classified under HS code 8413.60. Heading 8413 is the primary category for pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device. The classification within this heading is determined by the mechanical principle of the pump's operation. Subheading 8413.60 is dedicated to rotary positive displacement pumps. These pumps operate by trapping a specific volume of liquid between rotating elements (such as gears, vanes, or screws) and the pump casing, then moving that volume to the discharge port. This distinguishes them from reciprocating positive displacement pumps (8413.50) and centrifugal pumps (8413.70). The classification is based on the internal mechanism that moves the fluid, making 8413.60 the correct code for any liquid pump utilizing a rotary displacement design.

Codes often confused with 8413.60
Common mistake. A frequent error is classifying rotary pumps under HS code 8413.70, which is for centrifugal pumps. Centrifugal pumps use an impeller to add kinetic energy to the fluid, whereas rotary pumps use mechanical displacement. Another common mistake is using HS code 8414.10 for vacuum pumps. If the pump is designed to move liquid, it belongs in 8413; if it is designed to move air or gas to create a vacuum, it belongs in 8414. Additionally, if the pump is reciprocating (using a piston or diaphragm) rather than rotating, it must be classified under 8413.50.
Top exporters and importers of HS 841360 (the code used for rotary pump), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 841360 (the code used for rotary pump) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 19% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 17% 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 841360, not only rotary 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).
