Importers of Sanitary Ware & Parts, Not Elsewhere Specified, of Iron or Steel paid $11.0M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 29.73% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataIron and steel sanitary ware not elsewhere specified — including items such as utility sinks, drain components, and related fittings — serves the construction, plumbing, and renovation sectors as a cost-effective alternative to cast iron or stainless steel specialty products. The 'not elsewhere specified' scope means classification here is residual: articles with a more specific heading elsewhere in the schedule are excluded. Steel-content goods in this category may carry Section 232 exposure, a factor that significantly influences sourcing decisions for contractors and distributors.

This residual category captures iron or steel sanitary articles that do not fit a more specific SITC or HTS heading — for example, certain utility sinks, drain covers, or miscellaneous plumbing components made of iron or steel that lack a dedicated classification elsewhere.
NES (not elsewhere specified) means this heading applies only when no more specific provision covers the article. Importers must first confirm that the product does not fall under a dedicated HTS heading for, say, cast-iron sanitary ware or stainless steel sinks before defaulting to this residual category.
