HS code for Copper rivets: 7415.29
Copper, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins and similar articles, not threaded.
Classification of copper rivets under HS 7415.29
Copper rivets are classified under HS code 7415.29. This classification follows the hierarchical structure of Chapter 74, which governs copper and articles thereof. Heading 7415 is a broad category that includes nails, tacks, drawing pins, staples, and similar articles of copper, as well as screws, bolts, nuts, and rivets. The specific subheading 7415.29 is designated for non-threaded articles that are not elsewhere specified within the heading. Rivets are permanent mechanical fasteners that do not utilize threads to secure components; instead, they are deformed to create a second head. Because they lack threads, they are excluded from the threaded subheadings (7415.33 and 7415.39) and placed in the non-threaded section. The material composition must be predominantly copper or a copper alloy, such as brass, to remain within this heading. This classification is vital for the construction, aerospace, and maritime industries where copper's corrosion resistance is required for fastening.

Codes often confused with 7415.29
Common mistake. A common error is classifying copper rivets under HS code 7415.33, which is strictly for threaded screws, bolts, and nuts. Another frequent misclassification occurs with copper-plated steel rivets; these should be classified under Heading 7318 (Articles of iron or steel) because the base metal determines the classification in Section XV, regardless of the plating.

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).
