HS Code 7412.10 – Copper; tube or pipe fittings (e.g. couplings, elbows, sleeves) of refined copper
HS code 7412.10 is the 6-digit subheading for copper, tube or pipe fittings (e.g. couplings, elbows, sleeves) of refined copper. It is used for copper elbows, copper couplings, copper tees, copper reducers and copper caps.
What HS 7412.10 covers
This HS code covers fittings for tubes and pipes, such as couplings, elbows, and sleeves, made from refined copper. These components are essential for connecting, diverting, or terminating copper piping systems, ensuring leak-proof and durable installations. Their high purity refined copper composition ensures excellent corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and compatibility with refined copper pipes. Major importers are countries with robust construction, plumbing, HVAC, and industrial infrastructure development. Exporters typically include nations with strong copper manufacturing sectors and precision engineering capabilities. Key considerations for trade involve the fitting type, size, connection method (e.g., solder, compression), and adherence to international standards (e.g., ASTM, EN) to ensure compatibility and safety in critical applications like potable water systems, refrigeration, and medical gas lines.

Codes often confused with 7412.10
Common mistake. This code is distinguished from 741220 by the material being refined copper rather than a copper alloy, and from 741110 which covers the pipes themselves, not the fittings.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 741210, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 741210 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 25% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 26% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
