Overview
This HTS subheading covers roller pumps, a type of rotary positive displacement pump. These pumps utilize rollers, typically mounted on a rotor within a casing, to displace liquid. As the rotor turns, the rollers create a seal with the casing, trapping and moving a fixed volume of fluid with each rotation. They are commonly used for applications requiring gentle handling of liquids or for pumping viscous fluids.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8413.60.00.50 specifically pertains to oil well and oil field pumps, which are designed for specialized applications within the petroleum industry, often featuring robust construction for harsh environments. The sibling category 8413.60.00.90, "Other," serves as a residual category for rotary positive displacement pumps not otherwise specified. Therefore, 8413.60.00.70 is precisely for roller pumps that do not fit the specific criteria of oil field equipment.
As a leaf node, this subheading does not have further subdivisions. Classification within 8413.60.00.70 is determined by the pump's mechanical design featuring rollers for fluid displacement, differentiating it from other rotary pump types such as gear pumps, screw pumps, or vane pumps, which would fall under different classifications.
