Subheading 8413 60 of the Combined Nomenclature covers other rotary positive displacement pumps not classified under the preceding subheadings of heading 8413. This includes gear pumps used in hydraulic systems and lubrication, vane pumps for oils and hydraulic fluids, screw pumps for transporting viscous substances, lobe pumps for the food industry and peristaltic pumps with flexible tubing. Rotary positive displacement pumps operate through continuous rotary motion of working elements, moving liquid in enclosed chambers. Classification requires distinguishing from reciprocating positive displacement pumps (8413 50), which operate through back-and-forth motion, and from centrifugal pumps (8413 70). Classification follows GRI Rules 1 and 6. The key criterion is the rotary positive displacement operating principle. Where doubts arise, a BTI ruling is recommended.

Importing rotary positive displacement pumps under subheading 8413 60 into the EU requires compliance with the Union Customs Code. Rotary pumps are subject to the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 requiring CE marking and an EU declaration of conformity. High-pressure hydraulic pumps may fall under the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU. Food-grade pumps (lobe pumps, peristaltic pumps) must comply with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials in contact with food, and materials must be approved for food contact. Pumps for chemicals are subject to REACH requirements. Electric pumps must comply with LVD 2014/35/EU and EMC 2014/30/EU. Pumps may be subject to ecodesign requirements for energy efficiency. Import documents include the commercial invoice, transport document, CE declaration and technical specification. MFN duty rates should be verified in TARIC.

MFN duty rates for rotary pumps under subheading 8413 60 should be verified in TARIC. Preferential rates may be available under EU FTAs including CETA, EPA, EU-South Korea and TCA. Rotary positive displacement pumps are key components in hydraulic power systems, chemical and food industries. Specialised hydraulic pumps may benefit from autonomous tariff suspensions if included in the relevant Council Regulation. Imports from Russia and Belarus are subject to sanctions restrictions. Importers should check TARIC for anti-dumping duties from specific countries. Import VAT is charged at the national rate. Pumps with high energy efficiency meeting ecodesign standards demonstrate EU compliance, which may facilitate customs procedures. All rates and trade measures should be verified in TARIC.

CN code 8413 60 covers rotary positive 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.
