Analysis
Subheading 7418.20 covers sanitary ware and parts thereof, within heading 7418. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3% to 3% with a median of 3%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7418.20.10 for of copper-zinc base alloys (brass) (3%) and 7418.20.50 for sanitary ware and parts thereof: other (3%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (332999). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Goods only reach 7418.20 once they fall within heading 7418 (table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of copper; pot scourers and…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
