HS Code 7415.10 – Copper; nails and tacks, drawing pins, staples and similar articles of copper, or of iron or steel with copper heads
HS code 7415.10 is the 6-digit subheading for copper, nails and tacks, drawing pins, staples and similar articles of copper, or of iron or steel with copper heads. It is used for copper roofing nails, brass upholstery tacks, copper drawing pins, copper staples for marine use and decorative copper nails.
What HS 7415.10 covers
This category encompasses a range of small but essential fastening elements primarily made of copper, or iron/steel with copper heads, crucial for various industries globally. These articles, including nails, tacks, drawing pins, and staples, are highly valued for copper's corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and aesthetic appeal, making them suitable for applications where durability and specific material properties are paramount. Key importers often include countries with robust construction sectors, furniture manufacturing, and electronics assembly, such as the United States, Germany, and China. Exporters typically come from nations with strong metal processing capabilities and access to raw copper, like China, Germany, and South Korea. Understanding the specific alloy composition and coating thickness is vital for trade, as these factors significantly influence their performance and market value. The demand is often driven by infrastructure projects, DIY markets, and specialized industrial applications requiring non-ferrous fasteners.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
