Import Tips
• Verify pump specifications including discharge outlet diameter ≥7.6 cm and single-stage/single-suction design match HTS documentation exactly
• Include manufacturer test certificates and performance curves to confirm centrifugal operation and avoid reclassification
• Ensure frame-mounted installation evidence; common pitfall is misclassifying as submersible pumps under 8413.70.20.95
