7418.10.00 - Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof; pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like

This HTS category, 7418.10, encompasses a broad range of articles made from copper that are intended for table, kitchen, or other household use. This includes, but is not limited to, items such as cookware, serving dishes, utensils, decorative housewares, and general cleaning implements. Crucially, the defining characteristic for inclusion here is the copper composition and its application in domestic environments, distinguishing them from industrial or specialized functional items.

It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 7418.20, which specifically covers sanitary ware made of copper. While both are articles of copper falling under heading 7418, 7418.10 is focused on the domestic and culinary sphere, whereas 7418.20 pertains to fixtures such as sinks, faucets, and drains used in bathrooms and kitchens. The intended function and typical location of use are key differentiating factors.

Within 7418.10, further distinctions are made through its subcategories. Goods are broadly divided into "Pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like" and "Other" articles. The former specifically addresses items used for cleaning and polishing, made of copper or copper-plated materials, such as steel wool scourers or polishing cloths. The "Other" subcategory captures all remaining table, kitchen, and household articles of copper not otherwise specified.
