Industrial Pump Shaft Oil Seal
A high-pressure oil seal for centrifugal pump shafts in water treatment plants, featuring PTFE lip and stainless steel case for corrosion resistance. Classified in 8487.90.00.40 as it functions to retain lubricants in rotating machinery without electrical components or Chapter 40 rubber designation.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as integral part of a specific pump assembly
Parts recognizable as dedicated to pumps under 8413 are classified there rather than general machinery parts in 8487.
If for seals made predominantly of rubber for pump applications
Rubber-dominated seals go to Chapter 40 even if for machinery; metal/PTFE composites stay in 8487.
If designed as transmission shaft seal with bearing integration
Seals combined with transmission elements may classify under 8483 for bearing-related parts.
