Overview
This HTS category, 8413.60.00.50, specifically covers pumps designed and utilized for oil well and oil field operations. These pumps are integral to the extraction and movement of crude oil, natural gas, and associated fluids from underground reservoirs. Their design and construction are typically robust, intended to withstand the harsh environmental conditions and demanding operational requirements of the oil and gas industry. Examples include centrifugal pumps used for lifting oil, positive displacement pumps for mud circulation, and submersible pumps deployed downhole.
It is important to distinguish these specialized oil field pumps from other categories within the "Other rotary positive displacement pumps" classification. While all pumps in this broad group function by displacing a fixed volume of liquid, category 8413.60.00.50 is exclusively for pumps dedicated to oil and gas extraction. This excludes general-purpose rotary pumps that might be used in other industrial applications or for transferring different types of liquids. For instance, roller pumps (8413.60.00.70) are a distinct subtype of rotary positive displacement pumps that, while potentially used in some fluid handling, are not specifically classified as oil well and oil field pumps unless their design and primary application clearly align with the oil and gas sector.
As a leaf node, category 8413.60.00.50 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies heavily on the direct identification of the pump's intended use in oil well and oil field operations. When classifying, consideration should be given to the pump's specifications, manufacturer's documentation, and the overall context of its deployment to ensure it meets the criteria for this specific designation.
