Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designed primarily as a water pump rather than power generator
Centrifugal pumps resemble Pelton wheels but are classified by function in 8413.
If shipped as runner or nozzle components only
Separate parts of turbines go to 8410.90 regardless of power rating.
If bundled with generator and controls as generating set
Power generating sets with ≤75 kVA output use 8502.39 classification.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide head and flow rate specifications to distinguish from larger industrial models
• Label components clearly to avoid misclassification as pumps under 8413
• Check for anti-corrosion material certifications for waterway installations
