Shower heads — fixed overhead, rainfall and handheld — are spraying appliances under subheading 8424.89: US HTS 8424.89.90 (1.8%), EU CN 8424 89 70 (1.7%), UK 8424 89 70 00 (0%). The UK Trade Tariff lists "shower head" directly under 8424.89.70. 8424.41 is not correct: it covers portable agricultural and horticultural sprayers. A shower head with a built-in shut-off or diverter valve can be argued under 8481.80 (taps and valves), and complete thermostatic shower mixers are 8481.80 or 8481.20. Shower hoses: 3917 (plastic) or 8307 (flexible metal). Shower trays and enclosures: 3922 (plastic) or 6910 (ceramic). Water-efficiency limits (2.5 GPM in the US, Ecodesign rules in the EU) are product compliance, not customs.
