Classification of metal toilet fixtures under HS 7324.90
Metal toilet fixtures made of iron or steel are classified under HS code 732490. This code is part of Chapter 73, which covers articles of iron or steel. Heading 7324 specifically addresses sanitary ware and parts thereof. Subheading 732490 is a residual category for \"other\" sanitary ware that does not fall into the specific categories of stainless steel sinks (732410) or baths (732421/732429). To be classified here, the item must be primarily composed of iron or steel and intended for use in a bathroom or toilet setting. This classification relies on the material composition and the functional application of the product as sanitary equipment. According to the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System, these articles are generally designed to be fixed in place, though the heading also includes portable sanitary articles. The classification follows GRI 1 and GRI 6, ensuring that the product is identified by its material (iron/steel) and its specific use as a sanitary fixture rather than a general household article.

Codes often confused with 7324.90
Common mistake. Metal toilet fixtures are often misclassified under 7323, which covers table, kitchen, or other household articles of iron or steel. However, if the item is specifically for sanitary use, 7324 takes precedence. Another common error is using 8302, which covers base metal mountings and fittings; while some bathroom hardware fits there, items that are considered \"sanitary ware\" belong in 7324. Furthermore, if the fixture is made of copper or brass, it must be classified under 741820.

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).
