57 declarable lines

Heading 8414 covers air or vacuum pumps, air and gas compressors, fans, ventilating or recycling hoods that contain a fan, and gas-tight biological safety cabinets, plus parts for these goods. The heading splits by machine type first: vacuum pumps, hand pumps, compressors (refrigerating, air, and other), fans, hoods, cabinets, then a residual other line. Parts get their own subheadings, split by whether they are fan parts, compressor parts, or other parts.

How to choose the right subheading

Decide whether the item is a complete machine or a part; parts go in 8414.90, not the machine subheadings.
For pumps, separate vacuum pumps from hand- or foot-operated air pumps.
For compressors, the use decides the line: refrigerating and air conditioning equipment, air compressors, or other compressors, then power rating or type.
For fans, check whether the self-contained electric motor output is 125 W or less, then whether it is a ceiling fan, other permanent installation, or other.
For hoods, the maximum horizontal side of 120 cm decides between 8414.60 and other headings.
