What determines the tariff number?
- Drive type. Electric and mechanical pumps are classified differently. The drive mechanism determines which subcategory of liquid pumps your fuel pump falls into.
- Application and liquid type. Pumps designed for liquid fuels follow specific classification rules. The intended use (delivery of petrol, diesel, or other liquids) influences the tariff number assigned.
- Complete unit vs. component parts. A finished fuel pump is classified differently from individual pump components or spare parts. Whether you are importing a complete pump or only pump parts significantly affects the correct code.
