HS Code 7415.29 – Copper; rivets, cotters, cotter-pins and similar articles, not threaded
HS code 7415.29 is the 6-digit subheading for copper, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins and similar articles, not threaded. It is used for solid copper rivets, tubular copper rivets, split copper rivets, copper cotter pins and copper clevis pins.
What HS 7415.29 covers
This category encompasses unthreaded copper rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, and other similar non-threaded fastening articles. These components are vital for creating permanent or semi-permanent joints in various mechanical and structural applications where high strength, corrosion resistance, and sometimes electrical conductivity are required. Industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and heavy machinery manufacturing are significant users, valuing copper's ductility and resistance to environmental degradation. Major importing countries often have robust manufacturing sectors that assemble complex products, including the United States, Germany, and Japan. Exporting nations typically possess strong metalworking capabilities and efficient supply chains for copper raw materials, with China, Germany, and Taiwan being prominent examples. When trading these items, it's crucial to specify dimensions, head types (for rivets), and material purity, as these factors dictate their suitability for specific high-stress or specialized environments.

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).
