Copper; sanitary ware and parts thereof

HS code 741820 covers a range of copper-based sanitary ware products, including sinks, basins, bathtubs, and their associated parts. This industry plays a vital role in the construction and plumbing sectors, providing essential components for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. As copper is a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material, products within this HS code are in high demand for their longevity and reliability.

The production of copper sanitary ware typically involves a combination of casting, stamping, and machining processes. Copper ingots or sheets are first melted and then cast or stamped into the desired shapes. The cast or stamped parts are then further refined through machining, polishing, and finishing processes to ensure a smooth, uniform surface and precise dimensions.

The main inputs required for the production of copper sanitary ware include copper raw materials, such as ingots or sheets, as well as various tools and machinery for the casting, stamping, and machining processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the specialized equipment and performing the necessary finishing work.

The primary outputs of HS code 741820 are a wide range of copper sanitary ware products, including sinks, basins, bathtubs, and their associated parts. These outputs are then consumed by the 442100 Manufacture of kitchen furniture and 432000 Construction of buildings industries, where they are installed in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
