How to find the HS code for oil pump (Swiss tariff)
The HS code and Swiss customs tariff number for oil pumps depend on several technical factors: whether the pump is equipped with a liquid meter, the pump type (pump versus lifting device), and whether you are importing a complete unit or spare parts. The exact 8-digit tariff number is determined by these distinctions.

What determines the tariff number?
- Liquid meter integration. Oil pumps may be supplied with or without an integrated liquid meter. The presence of a measuring instrument results in a different classification and thus a different tariff number.
- Pump type (pump vs. lifting device). The distinction between a pump and a lifting device for liquids is central to Swiss tariff classification. This distinction leads to different tariff codes and must be accurately determined.
- Complete unit or spare parts. A complete oil pump is classified differently from individual components or pump parts. Spare parts for pumps and lifting devices have their own dedicated tariff numbers.
- Intended application. The intended use of the oil pump—whether for power machinery, industrial systems, or other applications—can influence classification and thus the 8-digit tariff number.
