HS Code for Toilet seats

Toilet seats and covers made of plastic are classified under HS code 3922.20. This code is situated within Chapter 39, which covers plastics and articles thereof. Heading 3922 specifically addresses baths, shower-baths, sinks, wash-basins, bidets, lavatory pans, seats and covers, flushing cisterns, and similar sanitary ware, of plastics. The sub-heading 3922.20 is dedicated to lavatory seats and covers. The classification is based on the material composition (plastic) and the specific function (as a component of a lavatory). It is important to note that this code applies regardless of whether the seat is sold as a replacement part or as part of a set, provided the material is plastic. The technical design, such as soft-close mechanisms or antimicrobial coatings, does not change the primary classification under 3922.20. This code is essential for manufacturers and distributors of plumbing fixtures to ensure compliance with international trade regulations and to determine applicable import duties for plastic-based sanitary components.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

Toilet seats are often misclassified under HS code 6910.10, which covers ceramic toilets (porcelain). While the seat is often attached to the ceramic bowl, the seat itself, if made of plastic, should be classified under 3922.20 when shipped separately or as a distinct component. Another common error is using HS code 4421.99 for wooden toilet seats; wooden seats must be classified under Chapter 44 (Wood), whereas 3922.20 is strictly for plastic articles.
