Plastic Faucet Knob from Japan

It qualifies for HTS 3926.90.2500 as a plastic knob NESOI, separate from the faucet body which may classify elsewhere. Constructed from polypropylene for water resistance and hygiene.

Import Tips

• Test for lead-free compliance if for potable water use

• Avoid describing as 'sanitary ware' to prevent Chapter 69 reclassification
