Hand pumps
Hand pumps for dispensing fuel or lubricants at filling stations
HSN 8413 11 10 (hand pumps for dispensing fuel or lubricants, of the type used in filling stations or garages) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other liquid pumps and fuel-dispensing equipment within Chapter 84 — particularly motorised dispensing pumps and measuring-device-fitted units — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.
The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: motorised fuel-dispensing pumps and pumps fitted with measuring devices are separately classified within heading 8413 and may attract compliance under petroleum equipment or weights-and-measures regulations. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the drive mechanism, metering capability, and intended installation context before declaring the product under this tariff line.
