Import Tips
• Verify pump specifications match single-stage double-suction criteria to avoid reclassification to multi-stage pumps under 8413.70.20.40
• Provide detailed performance curves and impeller drawings in entry documentation for CBP review
• Check for country-of-origin rules; many qualify for zero duty under USMCA or similar FTAs
