U.S. imports of vacuum pumps (HS 841410) totaled $57.2M in April 2026, traded with 56 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataVacuum pumps serve as critical process equipment across semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical manufacturing, laboratory instrumentation, and industrial packaging — applications that demand tight performance tolerances and often require compliance with end-use regulations beyond customs. Germany and Japan dominate US supply under this heading, reflecting the precision engineering requirements of high-vacuum and ultra-high-vacuum applications where European and Japanese manufacturers hold strong market positions. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit line (8414100000), so classification is straightforward, but importers should verify whether specific units are subject to export controls in the country of origin, as advanced vacuum technology can carry dual-use restrictions.

Vacuum pumps from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the specific product configuration. Germany and Japan — the leading suppliers — are not currently subject to Section 301 measures, though Section 232 considerations can apply to certain steel or aluminum content in the equipment. Importers should confirm current trade-remedy applicability with a licensed customs broker at the time of entry.
The key distinction is operating pressure range and direction of flow: vacuum pumps evacuate a chamber below atmospheric pressure, while compressors raise gas pressure above atmospheric. Manufacturer technical specifications showing inlet and outlet pressure ratings, along with the intended application, are the primary documents used to support classification under 8414.10 versus the compressor subheadings of 8414.
