HS code 3922.90 is the 6-digit subheading for plastics, bidets, lavatory pans, flushing cisterns and similar sanitary ware n.e.c. in heading no. 3922. It is used for plastic bidets, plastic toilet bowls, plastic flushing cisterns, wall-hung plastic toilets and concealed plastic cisterns.
What HS 3922.90 covers
This category serves as a residual for plastic sanitary ware not specifically covered by baths, sinks, or toilet seats within heading 3922. It primarily includes plastic bidets, lavatory pans (toilet bowls), and flushing cisterns (toilet tanks), which are integral parts of modern bathroom installations. Trade in these items is driven by new construction, bathroom renovations, and the demand for lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and often more cost-effective alternatives to ceramic fixtures. Importers are typically building material suppliers, plumbing wholesalers, and large retail chains, while exporters are specialized plastic manufacturers. Key considerations include water efficiency, design integration, ease of cleaning, and adherence to regional plumbing codes and standards, which are critical for market acceptance and regulatory compliance.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
