HS Code for Plastic bathtubs

Plastic bathtubs are classified under HS code 3922.10, which falls under the broader heading 3922 for \"Baths, shower-baths, sinks, wash-basins, bidets, lavatory pans, seats and covers, flushing cisterns and similar sanitary ware, of plastics.\" This heading is part of Chapter 39, which covers plastics and articles thereof. Subheading 3922.10 is specifically reserved for the primary bathing and washing fixtures. The classification is based on the material composition (must be plastic, including reinforced plastics like fiberglass or GRP) and the functional design of the article. These products are designed for permanent or semi-permanent installation in buildings for sanitary purposes. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the tub is a standard alcove model, a freestanding acrylic tub, or a specialized whirlpool bath, provided the primary material is plastic. The durability and intended use for hygiene are the key factors in applying this code.
