7419.80.50.10 - Brass plumbing goods not elsewhere specified or included

This HTS category, 7419.80.50.10, specifically covers brass plumbing goods that are not classified under any other more specific heading within Chapter 74. This includes a wide array of brass items intended for plumbing applications, such as fittings, valves, connectors, and other components used in water supply and drainage systems. The defining characteristic is their composition of brass and their primary intended use in plumbing infrastructure.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7419.80.50.50, which is also designated as "Other," hinges on the specific application of plumbing. While both fall under the broader "Other articles of copper" and "Other" subheadings, 7419.80.50.10 is reserved for items with a direct and identifiable function within a plumbing system. If a brass article has a different primary function or is made from a different copper alloy, it would likely be classified elsewhere.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading relies on a careful assessment of the article's physical characteristics, its intended use as a plumbing component, and confirmation that it is indeed made of brass. When encountering a brass plumbing good not explicitly listed in other headings, such as specialized fixtures or repair parts, this classification serves as the appropriate destination.
