Product classification
HS code for Copper tube: 7411.10
Copper, tubes and pipes, of refined copper.
Classification of copper tube under HS 7411.10
HS code 741110 is the international standard for classifying tubes and pipes made of refined copper. This classification falls under Chapter 74 (Copper and articles thereof) and Heading 7411, which encompasses all copper tubes and pipes regardless of their end-use, provided they meet the technical definition of a tube or pipe. Under the Harmonized System, tubes and pipes are defined as hollow products, coiled or not, which have a uniform cross-section with only one enclosed void along their whole length. For classification under 741110, the product must be composed of "refined copper" as opposed to copper alloys like brass or bronze. This means the copper content must be at least 99.85% by weight. These products are essential in plumbing, heating, and industrial applications due to their thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The classification remains the same whether the tubes are seamless or welded, provided they are made of refined copper.

Codes often confused with 7411.10
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with copper alloy tubes, such as brass tubes, which fall under 741121. Another frequent error is classifying copper tube fittings under this code; however, fittings (elbows, sleeves, etc.) must be classified under HS code 7412. Additionally, insulated copper tubes for refrigeration are sometimes incorrectly classified here instead of Chapter 84 or 85 depending on the assembly.

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).
