HS Code 7609.00 – Aluminium; tube or pipe fittings (e.g. couplings, elbows, sleeves)
HS code 7609.00 is the 6-digit subheading for aluminium, tube or pipe fittings (e.g. couplings, elbows, sleeves). It is used for aluminium pipe elbows, aluminium couplings, aluminium reducers, aluminium flanges and aluminium tees.
What HS 7609.00 covers
This HS code covers aluminium tube or pipe fittings, such as couplings, elbows, and sleeves. These components are essential for connecting, diverting, or terminating aluminium piping systems across a multitude of industries. Importers include construction companies, HVAC installers, automotive manufacturers, and industrial plant operators who require reliable and corrosion-resistant fittings for their fluid or gas transfer systems. Exporters are typically specialized manufacturers of metal fittings, often leveraging advanced casting, forging, or machining processes. The international trade in these fittings is driven by infrastructure development, industrial expansion, and the increasing use of aluminium in lightweight applications. Key considerations for buyers include the fitting type, size, pressure rating, alloy composition (if applicable), and compliance with relevant industry standards (e.g., ASME, ASTM) to ensure compatibility and system integrity.

Codes often confused with 7609.00
Common mistake. This code might be confused with fittings made of other base metals (e.g., 7307 for iron/steel) or with the tubes/pipes themselves (7608) rather than the connecting components.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 760900, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 760900 in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 18% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Mexico, with 10% 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).
