HS Code 84131100: Pumps for Dispensing Fuel or Lubricants

The HS Code 84131100 refers to pumps that are fitted or designed to be fitted with a measuring device, specifically used for dispensing fuel or lubricants. These pumps are commonly found in filling stations where they play a crucial role in efficiently and accurately dispensing fuel or lubricants to customers.

When it comes to international trade, the HS Code is used as a standardized system for classifying goods. It helps in identifying and categorizing products for customs and trade purposes. The HS Code 84131100 specifically targets pumps used in filling stations for dispensing fuel or lubricants.

The Bound or Most Favored Nation (MFN) duty rate for this HS Code is free. This means that every time a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it has to do so for the same goods or services from all its trading partners. This promotes fair and equal trade opportunities for all countries involved.

The quantity unit for this HS Code is typically measured in the number (NO) of pumps. This unit provides a standardized way of quantifying the number of pumps being imported or exported.

There are several special tariff preference programs that offer free or reduced-duty treatment for imports of pumps under HS Code 84131100. These programs include:

• Generalized System of Preferences (GSP): This program provides duty-free treatment for eligible products from developing countries.
