Pumps for Liquids: Statutory & Effective Tariff Rates
USITC Column 1 General rates for 16 pumps for liquids HTS lines (parseable range 0%–2.5%). Effective rate Jun 2026: 12.08%; monthly history since 2014.
The short answer
- The observed effective calculated-duty rate on U.S. imports of pumps for liquids was 12.08% in Jun 2026, down from 15.65% a year earlier — USITC Calculated Duties divided by covered customs value. The Column 1 General line-rate range is 0%–2.5% across 16 HTS lines in the 2026 schedule; individual lines are called “Free” only when the official General field is literally Free, which still does not determine a shipment’s final duty. Mexico is the largest source, holding 21.4% of 2025 imports.
Statutory rates from the schedule
- Process, hydraulic, and transfer pumps and their parts. This family covers HTS heading 8413: 16 eight-digit rate lines with a parseable Column 1 General range of 0%–2.5% in the 2026 schedule. “Free” means the official General field is literally Free for that line; it does not determine final entry liability.
Observed calculated-duty data
- Latest month on record (2026-06): 12.08% effective on $1.2B of imports, versus 15.65% in the same month a year earlier. The monthly archive holds 150 observations from 2014-01 through 2026-06.
- In 2025, U.S. imports for consumption in this family totaled $12.5B in customs value, with $1.8B in USITC reported calculated duty on $12.5B of covered customs value: an effective calculated-duty rate of 14.22%. The aggregate reflects the recorded entry mix but does not attribute the result to a specific legal provision.
- A year earlier the effective calculated-duty rate was 3.36%, so the observed rate rose 10.9 points.
