Steel, sinks and wash basins, of stainless steel.
Classification of stainless steel wash basin under HS 7324.10
Stainless steel wash basins and sinks are classified under HS code 7324.10. This code is part of Heading 7324, which encompasses sanitary ware and parts thereof, of iron or steel. The specific subheading 7324.10 is dedicated to sinks and wash basins made of stainless steel. Classification depends on the material (stainless steel) and the specific application as a fixed sanitary fixture. Unlike portable household articles, these items are typically installed as part of a plumbing system in kitchens or bathrooms. The Harmonized System distinguishes these from general household articles (7323) because they are designed for permanent installation and are used for hygiene or waste disposal. The durability and hygienic properties of stainless steel make it a primary material for these fixtures in both residential and industrial environments. The classification is strictly based on the material being stainless steel; other steel alloys or coated steels would fall under different subheadings within the same 7324 group.

Codes often confused with 7324.10
Common mistake. Stainless steel wash basins are often confused with general household articles under HS code 7323.93. However, 7323 is for table or kitchen articles that are not fixed sanitary ware. Another common error is misclassifying them with ceramic sinks, which fall under HS code 6910.10. If the sink is made of plastic, it would be classified under 3922.10. It is crucial to identify the base material and the intended permanent installation to ensure the correct application of 7324.10. Furthermore, if the basin is part of a larger piece of furniture, such as a vanity, it might be classified under Chapter 94 depending on the primary component.

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).
