Overview
This HTS category, 7419.20.00.10, specifically enumerates brass plumbing goods that are not classified elsewhere in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This encompasses a range of items essential for plumbing systems, such as brass pipes, fittings, valves, faucets, and connectors, provided they are manufactured from brass and are not otherwise specifically described under a more precise heading. The key distinguishing factor for inclusion here is their primary function and application within plumbing infrastructure.
Within the broader classification of "Cast, molded, stamped or forged, but not further worked" under heading 7419.20, this specific subheading differentiates itself from its sibling, 7419.20.00.50 ("Other"). While the sibling category serves as a residual for any cast, molded, stamped, or forged copper articles not elsewhere specified, 7419.20.00.10 is dedicated exclusively to brass plumbing articles. This ensures that items with a clear plumbing purpose are correctly routed, even if their manufacturing process aligns with the broader "cast, molded, stamped or forged" description.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 7419.20.00.10 relies on the definitive identification of the article as being made of brass and its intended use in plumbing applications, ensuring it is distinct from general brass articles or other copper goods.
