8481.80.50.60 - Bath, shower, sink and lavatory faucets

This HTS subcategory, 8481.80.50.60, specifically classifies faucets designed for baths, showers, sinks, and lavatories. These are typically manually operated appliances that control the flow of water into or out of plumbing fixtures found in residential, commercial, and hospitality settings. The primary function is to provide users with convenient and controllable access to water for hygiene and sanitation purposes.

Unlike the sibling category 8481.80.50.40, which covers valves specifically for pressure spray cans, this category is focused on fixtures integrated into water supply systems for direct use with water. Furthermore, it is distinct from the general "Other" category (8481.80.50.90), which would encompass other types of hand-operated appliances not fitting the specific definitions of bath, shower, sink, or lavatory faucets. The classification hinges on the intended application and the typical design features of these bathroom and kitchen fixtures.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies on confirming that the goods are indeed faucets for baths, showers, sinks, or lavatories, are hand-operated, and are made of materials other than those specified in preceding subcategories. The physical form factor, mounting style, and intended use within a plumbing system are key determinative factors for correct classification here.
