1) Types of Water Pumps and Liquid Elevators

Water pumps and liquid elevators are divided into various categories, each designed for a specific application. Below are some of these categories:
Centrifugal Pumps: These pumps are used to move large volumes of water at low pressures. They are commonly used in irrigation systems, water treatment plants, and urban and rural water supply systems.

Piston Pumps: These pumps are suitable for transferring liquids at high pressures and are mostly used in the oil and gas industry, hydraulic systems, and for moving high-viscosity liquids.

Diaphragm Pumps: Used for transferring viscous liquids or liquids containing solid particles. Due to high resistance to corrosive materials and the ability to handle sensitive liquids, these pumps are used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries.

Magnetic Pumps: These pumps are used for moving sensitive and hazardous liquids such as acids and alkalis. The chemical and pharmaceutical industries are major users of this type of pump.

Liquid Elevators: These devices are used to move liquids to higher elevations. They are used in the construction industry, water supply systems for high-altitude areas, and civil engineering projects.

2) Applications and Advantages of Water Pumps and Liquid Elevators

Water pumps and liquid elevators play a very vital and key role in various industries. Each of these devices, depending on its design and performance, is widely used in different industrial processes. Below we discuss the specialized applications and advantages of these equipment in different industries:
Agricultural industry:
Pressurized irrigation: In modern irrigation systems that require supplying water at a specified and controlled pressure, centrifugal pumps are widely used due to their capability to move large volumes of water at low to medium pressure.
Moving water from underground sources: For transferring water from wells or underground sources to the surface and then distributing it to farms, the use of piston pumps is common. These pumps, by creating high pressure, bring water from depths to the surface and transfer it to irrigation networks.

Oil and gas industry:
Transfer and injection of petroleum liquids: In these industries, where precise and controlled transfer of liquids with different viscosities is of great importance, piston and diaphragm pumps are used due to their high precision and capability to operate at high pressures. These pumps are also used for injecting various chemicals in refining and oil extraction processes.
Transferring chemical fluids: Diaphragm pumps, due to their high resistance to corrosive and chemical materials, are widely used in processes of transferring and injecting acids, alkalis, and other chemicals used in the oil and gas industries.

Water and wastewater systems:
Water treatment and transfer: Centrifugal and diaphragm pumps play an essential role in water and wastewater treatment systems. These pumps are used to move and pump water from natural sources to treatment plants and then transfer treated water to urban distribution networks.
Sewage transfer: In industrial and urban sewage systems, the use of diaphragm pumps for transferring sewage to treatment plants and moving waste materials is very common. Due to their ability to move fluids containing solid particles and resistance to corrosion, these pumps are a suitable choice for these applications.

Food and pharmaceutical industries:
Transferring sensitive liquids: Magnetic and diaphragm pumps are ideal for moving sensitive and clean liquids such as milk, syrup, and pharmaceutical solutions due to the lack of contact between mechanical parts and the liquid. These pumps are widely used in these industries because they prevent product contamination and maintain quality during transfer.
Transferring viscous food materials: In the food industry, diaphragm pumps are used to move and pump viscous materials such as paste, sauces, and other thick food products.

3) Key Points in Clearing Water Pumps and Liquid Elevators

1. HS Code (Customs Tariff)

The HS Code, or Harmonized System code, is an international coding system for identifying products and goods in global trade. Correct selection of this code for water pumps and liquid elevators has a direct impact on customs tariffs, taxes, and import regulations. Generally, water pumps and liquid elevators are classified under HS Code 8413, which includes various pumps and devices for moving liquids. However, depending on the specific type of pump and its application, different subheadings of this code may be used, directly affecting import costs.
Product Group Short Description HS Code
Centrifugal pump High volume/low to medium pressure; water supply/treatment 8413.70*
Piston/positive displacement pump High pressure; oil & gas/hydraulics 8413.60*
Diaphragm/chemical pump Viscous liquids/solids; corrosion-resistant 8413.50*
Magnetic pump Hazardous fluids transfer/leak-free 8413* (subheading based on design)
Liquid elevator Transfer to height; civil/water-supply projects 8413* (within the pumps group)

Determining the exact subheading depends on power, flow rate, drive type, application, materials in contact with the fluid, and the presence of control equipment.

2. Technical Documents and Required Papers

Technical catalogs: These documents include detailed information on features, performance, and applications of water pumps and liquid elevators, which are provided to customs to verify the goods and their conformity with declared specifications. Standards certificates: For clearing these equipment, standard certificates such as CE for Europe, ISO, and other international or national standards must be presented. These certificates ensure that the devices are produced in compliance with necessary quality and safety standards.

3. Required Standards and Approvals

CE and ISO certificates: These certificates indicate product compliance with European and international standards. They are essential to guarantee the quality and safety of imported products. National and regional standards: Depending on the country of origin and destination, it may be necessary to provide national or regional standard certificates that help confirm the quality and safety of products. These certificates are often issued by governmental bodies or local standard organizations.

4. Special Import Conditions

Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade regulations: Some pumps and liquid elevators may be subject to specific regulations set by the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade or related organizations. These regulations may include import restrictions, the need for special permits, or compliance with additional standards. Environmental laws and regulations: For importing some industrial pumps that may have environmental impacts, compliance with environmental regulations is essential. These may include restrictions related to energy consumption, emission of harmful substances, or proper disposal of industrial waste.

4) Import and Export Conditions for Water Pumps and Liquid Elevators

Imports to Iran:
Import of water pumps and liquid elevators to Iran is mainly from industrial countries such as China, Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. These countries are the main manufacturers of this equipment in the world, and their products, due to high quality and diversity in design, are of interest to Iranian importers.
Exports from Iran:
Exports of pumps and liquid elevators manufactured in Iran are also made to neighboring countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Persian Gulf countries. These exports are increasing due to the industrial needs of these countries and Iran’s production capabilities.

5) Volume of Imports and Exports of Water Pumps and Liquid Elevators

According to available statistics, Iran imports millions of dollars’ worth of this equipment annually, a large part of which is used in agriculture, oil and gas, and water supply industries. Exports of this equipment have also increased in recent years due to the growing demand of neighboring countries.
