8413.91.90.65/API 11B Steel Sucker Rod/Japan

API 11B Steel Sucker Rod from Japan

A high-strength carbon steel sucker rod manufactured to API 11B standards, used in oil well reciprocating pumps to transmit mechanical motion from the surface to the downhole pump. It falls under HTS 8413.91.90.65 as a part of subheading 8413.50.00 pumps, specifically sucker rods described in statistical note 3 to chapter 84 for semiconductor manufacturing equipment applications. These rods are engineered for precise linear motion in cleanroom-compatible pumping systems.

Import Tips

• Verify API 11B certification and material composition documentation to confirm classification under statistical note 3

• Include end-use statements proving application in semiconductor manufacturing pumps to avoid reclassification

• Ensure rods meet dimensional tolerances for cleanroom use; common pitfall is missing traceability certificates
