Subheading 8413 19 of the Combined Nomenclature covers other pumps for liquids, fitted with or designed to be fitted with a measuring device, other than fuel dispensing pumps for filling stations classified under subheading 8413 11. This category includes metering pumps with flow counters used in the chemical, food-processing and pharmaceutical industries, pumps for dosing process fluids in manufacturing operations, and laboratory pumps with precision volume measurement. Classification requires the pump to have a measuring device or be designed for its installation. Pumps without measuring capability are classified under subheadings 8413 30 to 8413 81 depending on construction type. The distinction from subheading 8413 11 is based on the pump not being intended for fuel dispensing at filling stations or garages. Classification follows the GRI of the CN, particularly Rules 1 and 6. Where doubts arise, a BTI ruling is recommended.

Importing metering pumps under subheading 8413 19 into the European Union requires compliance with the Union Customs Code (Regulation (EU) No 952/2013). The importer must hold an EORI number and file an electronic customs declaration. Pumps with measuring devices are subject to the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, requiring an EU declaration of conformity and CE marking. Built-in measuring instruments may fall under the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) 2014/32/EU when used for commercial transactions. Pumps designed for pressurised substances may be subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU. Pumps for chemical substances must comply with REACH requirements regarding materials in contact with hazardous substances. Food-contact pumps must meet Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. Import documentation includes the commercial invoice, transport document, CE declaration of conformity and technical specification. MFN duty rates should be verified in TARIC.

MFN duty rates for pumps under subheading 8413 19 should be verified in the current TARIC database. Preferential rates may be available under EU FTAs including CETA, EPA (Japan), EU-South Korea and TCA (UK). Applying preferential rates requires documenting the origin of goods in accordance with the rules of origin of the relevant trade agreement. Industrial metering pumps constitute specialised process equipment and may benefit from autonomous tariff suspensions if included in the relevant Council Regulation. Imports from Russia and Belarus are subject to EU sanctions restrictions. Importers should check TARIC for anti-dumping or countervailing duties on pumps from specific countries of origin. Import VAT is charged at the applicable national rate. Comprehensive verification of duty rates, preferences and trade measures in TARIC is the importer's responsibility before filing each customs declaration.

CN code 8413 19 covers other metering pumps. Import into the EU is subject to TARIC duty rates and requires compliance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Pumps operating under pressure also fall under the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 2014/68/EU. Centrifugal pumps must meet ecodesign energy efficiency requirements. Customs clearance needs CE certificate and technical documentation.
