HS code for Sump pump: 8413.70
Pumps, centrifugal, n.e.c. in heading no. 8413, for liquids.
Classification of sump pump under HS 8413.70
Sump pumps are generally classified under HS code 8413.70. This classification is found in Chapter 84, which deals with nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Heading 8413 is reserved for pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device. Subheading 8413.70 specifically covers centrifugal pumps. Since the vast majority of modern sump pumps—whether submersible or pedestal—utilize a centrifugal impeller to move water out of a basin, they fall under this category. The classification is determined by the mechanical action of the pump rather than its specific application in a basement or crawlspace. If the pump uses a different mechanism, such as a reciprocating piston or a rotary positive displacement system, it would be classified elsewhere under 8413.50 or 8413.60. However, for standard residential and commercial dewatering applications, 8413.70 is the standard. Documentation should highlight the centrifugal nature of the pump to avoid delays during the customs clearance process. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6 are applied here, focusing on the technical description provided in the subheading. It is also important to distinguish these from \"pumps for liquids\" that are part of a larger machine; if the pump is imported as a standalone unit for the purpose of moving water, 8413.70 is appropriate. Even if the pump includes an integrated float switch or automatic sensor, it remains classified as a pump under this heading because the pumping function is the primary purpose of the device.

Codes often confused with 8413.70
Common mistake. Sump pumps are often misclassified under 8413.50 (reciprocating pumps) or 8413.60 (rotary pumps) if the internal mechanism is not clearly understood. They may also be incorrectly placed in 8413.81 if they are thought to be a non-centrifugal type of pump not elsewhere specified.
Top exporters and importers of HS 841370 (the code used for sump pump), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 841370 (the code used for sump 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.

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).
