Classification of aluminum sanitary ware under HS 7615.20
HS code 761520 is designated for aluminum sanitary ware and parts thereof. This classification falls under Chapter 76, which covers aluminum and articles thereof, specifically within the broader category of household articles. The key characteristic for this code is that the articles are made of aluminum and are designed for sanitary purposes.

Codes often confused with 7615.20
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 761510, which covers other aluminum household articles and parts thereof, excluding sanitary ware. While both are household items, 761520 specifically carves out sanitary ware due to its distinct function. Confusion can also arise with sanitary ware made from other materials. For example, iron or steel sanitary ware is classified under 7324, plastic sanitary ware under 3922, and ceramic sanitary ware under 6910. The material of composition is a primary differentiator in these cases. Ensuring the article is both aluminum and specifically designed for sanitary use is crucial for accurate classification under 761520.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
