Last updated: July 2026 dataCopper and brass sanitary ware — including faucet bodies, drain fittings, toilet flush components, and related plumbing fixtures — enters under three 10-digit lines that separate brass articles (7418201000) from other copper sanitary ware (7418205000), with a legacy combined line (7418200000) also present. Taiwan leads US supply, with China and Germany also significant sources. Brass dominates this category commercially because its machinability and corrosion resistance make it the standard alloy for precision-cast plumbing components. Importers should be aware that lead-content regulations under NSF/ANSI 61 and state-level plumbing codes (notably California's AB 1953) can affect market access for brass sanitary fittings regardless of HTS classification.

NSF/ANSI 61 and the federal Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act restrict lead content in plumbing fittings that convey potable water to a weighted average of 0.25% or less. California's AB 1953 imposes similar requirements. Importers must ensure their brass sanitary ware meets these standards and obtain appropriate third-party certification before selling into the US market, as non-compliant goods can be refused sale or recalled.
Heading 7418.20 covers finished sanitary ware and its parts — items like faucet bodies, flush valves, and drain assemblies designed for permanent installation in bathrooms and kitchens. Copper tube fittings (elbows, tees, couplings) used in pipe systems are classified under heading 7412, while valves are typically classified under Chapter 84. The distinction turns on whether the article is a finished sanitary fixture or a pipe-system component.
