HS-4 · Heading

7609 — Aluminium; tube or pipe fittings (e.g. couplings, elbows, sleeves)

Chapter 76: Aluminium and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7609 when importing aluminium tube or pipe fittings such as couplings, elbows, and sleeves. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of aluminium elbows for plumbing systems, this code applies directly to your products.

When deciding between HS-4 7609 and neighbouring codes, consider the specific type of fitting. If your product is a non-aluminium fitting, it won't fall under this heading. Ensure your fittings are exclusively made of aluminium to qualify.

The distinction within this heading is straightforward since it covers only aluminium fittings. If your product includes other materials or is a different type of fitting, you may need to explore other HS codes. Always check the material composition and intended use.
