Product classification
HS code for Copper profiles: 7407.10
Copper, bars, rods and profiles, of refined copper.
Classification of copper profiles under HS 7407.10
Copper profiles of refined copper are classified under HS code 7407.10. This heading covers bars, rods, and profiles. A profile is defined by the Harmonized System as a rolled, extruded, drawn, forged, or formed product, which may be coiled or not, of a uniform cross-section along its whole length, which does not conform to any of the definitions of bars, rods, wire, plates, sheets, strip, foil, tubes, or pipes. The classification 7407.10 specifically applies when these profiles are manufactured from refined copper. These shapes are often used in electrical engineering for busbars or in architectural applications for trim and structural support. The key to this classification is the uniformity of the cross-section and the fact that the shape is more complex than a simple round, square, or rectangular bar.

Codes often confused with 7407.10
Common mistake. Copper profiles are frequently misclassified as copper wire under HS code 7408. While both can be coiled, wire is generally defined by its smaller diameter and different manufacturing standards. Another common error is confusing profiles with copper plates or strips under 7409; however, profiles have a more complex cross-section than simple flat-rolled products. If the profile is made of brass, it must be moved to 7407.21, and other alloys fall under 7407.29.
Top exporters and importers of HS 740710 (the code used for copper profiles), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 740710 (the code used for copper profiles) in UN Comtrade data was Bulgaria, with 12% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 17% 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).

Questions about copper profiles
What is the HS code for Copper profiles?
The HS code for Copper profiles is 740710 (Copper; bars, rods and profiles, of refined copper). Refined copper profiles are classified under HS code 7407.10, which also includes refined copper bars and rods.
How do I classify Copper profiles for customs?
Copper profiles is classified under HS code 740710 — Copper; bars, rods and profiles, of refined copper. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
How is a profile different from a bar in HS classification?
While they share the same HS code (7407.10), a bar has a simple geometric cross-section (like a circle or square), whereas a profile has a more complex or irregular cross-section.
Which countries are the top exporters of copper profiles (HS 740710)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 740710 (the code used for copper profiles) in UN Comtrade data were Bulgaria ($420M, 12% of world exports), Germany ($322M) and France ($262M). World exports came to about $3.5B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Which countries are the top importers of copper profiles (HS 740710)?
In 2025, the top importers of HS 740710 (the code used for copper profiles) in UN Comtrade data were the United States ($587M, 17% of world imports), Germany ($360M) and Mexico ($180M). World imports came to about $3.5B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Is the HS code for Copper profiles the same in all countries?
The base HS code 740710 for Copper profiles is internationally standardized for the first 6 digits across 200+ countries. Individual countries may add additional digits for national tariff lines and specific classifications.
What is the NCM code for copper profiles in Brazil?
Brazil splits HS 740710 into 3 NCM codes, so the right one for copper profiles depends on the product's details: 7407.10.10 (Refined copper bars), 7407.10.21 (Hollow profiles of refined copper), 7407.10.29 (Non-hollow refined copper profiles).
