Heading 7411 — Copper tubes and pipes
Chapter 74: Copper and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 741121 when importing or exporting copper tubes and pipes made from brass, which is a copper-zinc alloy. For instance, if you're shipping plumbing pipes or fittings made of brass, this is the correct code to use.
This code specifically covers tubes and pipes that are primarily made of copper-zinc alloys, distinguishing them from pure copper products classified under HS-6 741110. If your product is a pure copper pipe, you would use that code instead.
Brass tubes and pipes are commonly used in plumbing, heating, and electrical applications due to their durability and resistance to corrosion. If you’re dealing with brass tubing for automotive or HVAC systems, this classification is essential.
When considering related products, note that HS-6 741129 covers other copper tubes and pipes not classified as brass. Ensure you check the material composition to avoid misclassification.
