7418 - Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of copper; pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like, of copper; sanitary ware and parts thereof, of copper:

This HTS category, 7418, encompasses a diverse range of finished articles and parts thereof made from copper, intended for household use. It specifically includes table and kitchenware, as well as other articles commonly found in a domestic setting. Additionally, this heading covers copper pot scourers, scouring or polishing pads, and similar items designed for cleaning and maintenance. Finally, sanitary ware and its components made of copper are also classified under this provision.

When classifying goods under 7418, it is crucial to distinguish them from other base metal articles within Section XV and from articles made of other materials. While siblings at the root level, such as live animals, are entirely unrelated, within Chapter 74 itself, this heading focuses on finished copper products for household and sanitary applications. For example, raw copper or semi-finished copper products would fall under different headings within Chapter 74. Articles for industrial or technical use, even if made of copper, would also be excluded if their primary function is not domestic or sanitary.

The subcategories within 7418 further refine the classification based on the article's specific function. Subheading 7418.10.00 addresses general household articles and cleaning implements, while subheading 7418.20 specifically pertains to sanitary ware and its constituent parts. This division allows for more precise tariff treatment based on the distinct applications of these copper articles.
