Overview
This HTS category, 8413.81.00.20, specifically classifies turbine pumps. Turbine pumps are a type of centrifugal pump characterized by the use of a rotating impeller or rotor to impart velocity to a fluid. This category encompasses various configurations of turbine pumps, including vertical and submersible turbine pumps, designed for a wide range of liquid-moving applications.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8413.81.00.30 covers distinct subcategories of pumps. Specifically, 8413.81.00.30 includes self-contained household water systems and windmill pumps, which have specialized applications and designs not captured by the general turbine pump classification. The sibling category 8413.81.00.40, "Other," serves as a residual category for pumps not otherwise specified within the 8413.81.00 heading, reinforcing that 8413.81.00.20 is for a defined type of pump.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8413.81.00.20. Therefore, the classification of a product under this heading relies on its definitive identification as a turbine pump, considering its mechanical design and primary function of transferring liquids using a turbine-driven impeller, and ensuring it does not meet the specific criteria of the sibling "Other pumps; liquid elevators" categories.
