About sanitary ware and parts thereof, of iron or steel

HS code 7324 covers a wide range of sanitary ware products made from iron or steel, including sinks, bathtubs, washbasins, and other fixtures used in bathrooms and kitchens. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and renovation sectors, providing essential components for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. As a key part of the broader plumbing and fixtures industry, the products under HS 7324 contribute to the overall functionality and aesthetics of modern living and working spaces.

Production process

The production of sanitary ware under HS 7324 typically involves a combination of metalworking techniques, such as stamping, casting, and welding. Manufacturers often start with raw steel or iron sheets, which are then shaped and formed into the desired product designs using specialized machinery. The parts may undergo additional finishing processes, such as polishing, coating, or enameling, to enhance their durability and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 7324 sanitary ware include steel or iron raw materials, as well as various chemicals, paints, and coatings used for finishing and treatment. Manufacturers also rely on specialized equipment, such as stamping presses, casting molds, and welding machines, to transform the raw materials into the final products. Additionally, the industry may consume outputs from related codes, such as 7306 Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, of iron or steel and 7323 Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of iron or steel.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS 7324 industry are a wide range of sanitary ware products, including sinks, bathtubs, washbasins, bidets, and other plumbing fixtures. These items are typically consumed by the construction and renovation sectors, where they are installed in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The outputs of HS 7324 may also be used as inputs for other related industries, such as 8481 Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like, including pressure-reducing valves and thermostatically controlled valves and 8509 Electromechanical domestic appliances, with self-contained electric motor.
