Pneumatic diaphragm pumps are among the most widely used pumps in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and water treatment industries. Their corrosion-resistant design, ability to pump viscous liquids, and suitability for use in potentially explosive atmospheres make these pumps attractive to many industries.
In international trade, determining the HS code for these pumps is crucial for import and export. This article examines the HS codes for pneumatic diaphragm pumps in various countries and discusses key points for expediting customs clearance for these products.
What is the TN VED code?
The Harmonised System (HS) is a global standard for classifying goods, developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) . The system consists of 6-digit codes, which countries can extend to 8 or 10 digits to provide more detailed information.
Air-operated diaphragm pumps are generally classified under Chapter 84 (Machinery and mechanical equipment), but have different codes depending on the type and intended use.
