HS Code 7418.20 – Copper; sanitary ware and parts thereof
HS code 7418.20 is the 6-digit subheading for copper, sanitary ware and parts thereof. It is used for copper kitchen sinks, copper bathroom faucets, copper showerheads, copper drain fittings and copper towel rails.
What HS 7418.20 covers
This HS code specifically covers sanitary ware and their parts made from copper. This includes a range of fixtures and fittings used in bathrooms, kitchens, and other hygienic environments, where copper's inherent antimicrobial properties, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal are highly valued. Products in this category often include sinks, faucets, showerheads, and various plumbing components. The demand is driven by residential and commercial construction, renovation projects, and the hospitality sector. Major importers are typically countries with robust construction industries and a preference for high-quality, durable sanitary fittings, such as the United States, Germany, and the UK. Exporters often come from nations with advanced metal fabrication capabilities and design expertise, like China, Italy, and Germany. For traders, understanding design trends (e.g., modern, vintage), specific finishes (e.g., polished, brushed, antique), and compliance with local plumbing standards and certifications is critical for successful market penetration.

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).
