Immediate Free Consultation1) Categorization of Air and Vacuum Pumps
Compressed air pumps: These pumps are used to compress air for use in pneumatic tools, control systems, and industrial equipment. This type of pump is widely used in the automotive, manufacturing, and construction industries.
Compressors: Compressors are used to produce high-pressure compressed air in various applications, including powering air tools, turbines, and HVAC systems. Compressors come in piston, screw, and rotary types.
Blowers: Blowers are used to move large volumes of air at low pressure and are used in industrial ventilation, dryers, and material conveying systems. Due to their high air-moving capacity, these devices are very popular in industries that require continuous and stable air movement.
Vacuum pumps: Vacuum pumps are designed to create negative pressure or vacuum in different environments and processes. Types of vacuum pumps include:
Rotary vane pumps: These pumps create a vacuum by rotating a rotor with movable blades that remove air from the environment. Rotary pumps are used in packaging industries, research laboratories, and specialized ventilation systems.
Diaphragm pumps: Diaphragm pumps create a vacuum using a flexible diaphragm and piston movements. These pumps are very important in applications sensitive to contamination, such as medical, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Turbomolecular pumps: These pumps are designed to create very high vacuum using extremely fast-rotating turbines. This type of pump is widely used in electronics, semiconductors, and research due to the need for ultra-high vacuum.
2) Customs Tariff and HS Code for Air and Vacuum Pumps
| Group/Type | Short Description | HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum pumps | Rotary/Diaphragm/Turbomolecular; vacuum generation | 8414.10 |
| Compressed air pump/blower/compressor | Large volume or high pressure; industrial | 8414.80 |
Determining the exact subheading depends on power, flow rate, working pressure, driver (electric/diesel), materials in contact with the fluid, and application.
3) Essential Documents for Clearing Air and Vacuum Pumps
Commercial Invoice: This document includes financial and commercial information such as price, payment terms, and seller/buyer details. The commercial invoice is used to determine customs value and calculate duties and taxes.
Packing List: This document provides detailed information about the quantity, type, weight, and packaging of the goods and is essential for inspection and customs review.
Certificate of Origin: This certificate is issued by the chamber of commerce of the exporting country and indicates the country where the goods were manufactured. It is necessary for applying preferential tariffs and complying with import regulations.
Relevant permits from competent organizations: Depending on the pump type and application, it may be necessary to obtain specific permits from national and international organizations such as the Standards Organization, Environmental Organization, Ministry of Health, and Atomic Energy Organization.
Technical Specification Sheet: This sheet includes precise technical information such as power, capacity, working pressure, and construction materials of the pump, and is used to ensure conformity with national and international standards.
Inspection Certificate: In some cases, to ensure the quality and specifications of the goods, an inspection certificate from reputable inspection companies is required. This certificate can be issued before shipment or at the customs location.
4) Key Points in Clearing Air and Vacuum Pumps
Compliance with national and international standards: Many air and vacuum pumps must comply with specific standards. Compliance with national and international standards (such as ISO, CE, or UL) is mandatory and must be reviewed before the goods enter customs.
Accurate valuation of goods: Correct valuation of goods based on the commercial invoice and trade terms (CIF, FOB, EXW, etc.) is highly important. Differences in valuation can lead to discrepancies in calculating customs duties and taxes and may even cause legal problems.
Reviewing the need for specific permits: Depending on the pump type and country of origin, obtaining specific permits from various organizations may be necessary. For example, some pumps, due to sensitive applications or the use of special materials, require permits from the Atomic Energy Organization, the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, or the Ministry of Health. These permits must be prepared before the goods enter customs to avoid clearance delays.
Continuous follow-up of clearance stages: Careful tracking of all clearance stages from the moment the goods enter customs until delivery to the final warehouse is very important to prevent unnecessary delays and reduce additional costs.
