pumps produced in it's US facilities. This exemption request is for our SU series pumps used for 

handling residential sump applications. These pumps are not available to Crane Pumps & Systems from 

any other supplier. A tariff of 25% would have a significant negative economic impact on Crane Pumps 

& Systems causing lost sales or selling the product at a loss. 

These pumps are not part of the "Made in China 2025" initiative. 

This product is easily identifiable for customs officials based on our SU series label that is referenced on 

import documents.
