8413.50.00.80 - Other

This category, 8413.50.00.80, specifically classifies "Other" reciprocating positive displacement pumps designed for hydraulic fluid power applications. These pumps are characterized by their mechanism of reciprocating pistons or plungers to displace hydraulic fluid. The "other" designation indicates that this classification applies to pumps that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the reciprocating positive displacement pump category for hydraulic fluid power. This broad inclusion allows for the proper categorization of a wide array of hydraulic pumps that perform the essential function of generating flow and pressure within hydraulic systems.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8413.50.00.70 ("Radial piston type"), is crucial for accurate classification. While both are reciprocating positive displacement pumps used in hydraulic fluid power, the sibling category is specifically reserved for pumps with a radial piston configuration. This current category, 8413.50.00.80, encompasses all other types of reciprocating positive displacement hydraulic pumps that do not employ a radial piston design. This could include, for instance, axial piston pumps (swashplate or bent-axis designs), diaphragm pumps used for hydraulic power, or other reciprocating pump mechanisms not specifically defined elsewhere.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification under 8413.50.00.80 lies in identifying reciprocating positive displacement pumps used for hydraulic fluid power that do not meet the specific criteria of any preceding or sibling HTS codes within this chapter. Classification hinges on the pump's operational principle (reciprocating positive displacement), its intended function (hydraulic fluid power), and the absence of more specific descriptive sub-classifications.
