Descriptive information was submitted for review. The products at issue are pump assemblies, item numbers 2240-1B1-10E and 2240-1B1-10E SB.

The fluid pump, which is primarily constructed of plastic material, features valves, an inlet, an outlet and a pressure switch that shuts off power to the motor once a certain level of pressure is attained. The pump assembly is designed to be mounted onto mobile spraying units used in agricultural applications. The applicable subheading for the pump assemblies will be 8413.50.0050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device; liquid elevators; parts thereof: Other reciprocating positive displacement pumps: Diaphragm pumps.
