Product classification
HS code for Copper pipe: 7411.10
Copper, tubes and pipes, of refined copper.
Classification of copper pipe under HS 7411.10
Copper pipes and tubes of refined copper are classified under HS code 7411.10. Heading 7411 is the primary category for all copper tubes and pipes. The classification is further refined by the chemical composition of the copper. Subheading 7411.10 is reserved for "refined copper," which typically means copper with a purity of at least 99.85% by weight, or copper with a lower purity where the content of other elements does not exceed specific limits defined in the Chapter 74 notes. These products are characterized by a uniform wall thickness and a hollow cross-section that is constant throughout the length of the product. They are widely used in plumbing, heating, and cooling systems due to their thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The classification applies regardless of whether the pipes are straight or in coils.

Codes often confused with 7411.10
Common mistake. Copper pipes are often confused with HS code 7412, which covers copper tube or pipe fittings (such as elbows, sleeves, and couplings). Another common error is misclassifying alloyed copper pipes (like brass or cupro-nickel) under 7411.10; these should be under 7411.21 or 7411.29 respectively. Additionally, insulated copper pipes used specifically as parts for air conditioning machines might be wrongly classified under 8415.90, but they should remain in 7411 as base metal articles.
Top exporters and importers of HS 741110 (the code used for copper pipe), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 741110 (the code used for copper pipe) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 28% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was India, with 12% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Figures cover everything classified under HS 741110, not only copper pipe.

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. 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).
