7418.20.50.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 7418.20.50.00, encompasses "Other" sanitary ware and parts thereof made of copper. It is crucial to understand that this classification applies to sanitary articles that are not specifically covered by other, more precisely defined subcategories within the broader heading for copper sanitary ware. This typically includes items intended for domestic, industrial, or public sanitation purposes, such as drains, gratings, or other specialized fittings, where copper is the primary component and they do not fall into other enumerated categories.

The key differentiator for this "Other" category is its residual nature. Its sibling, 7418.20.10.00, specifically covers sanitary ware made from copper-zinc base alloys, commonly known as brass. Therefore, for an item to be classified under 7418.20.50.00, it must be of copper but *not* of a copper-zinc base alloy. The classification hinges on the precise composition of the copper alloy used in the manufacture of the sanitary ware.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 7418.20.50.00 is the final determination for eligible copper sanitary ware that does not fit into the brass alloy designation. Importers and exporters should carefully review the material composition and intended use of copper sanitary articles to ensure accurate classification, referring to relevant notes within Chapter 74 and the general interpretative rules of the Harmonized System when necessary.
