What determines the tariff number?
- Liquid measuring device. Water pumps can be equipped with or without an integrated liquid measuring device. This feature changes the product category and results in a different HS code classification.
- Lifting mechanism vs. standard pump. Distinguish whether you have a lifting mechanism for liquids or a standard pump without lifting function. This distinction is crucial for correct tariff classification under Swiss customs law.
- Complete unit vs. spare parts. A finished water pump receives a different HS code than individual pump components or parts. Parts for pumps and parts for lifting mechanisms are classified under separate tariff numbers.
