HS-6 · Subheading
741122
Copper; tubes and pipes, of copper-nickel base alloys (cupro-nickel) or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys (nickel silver)
Heading 7411 — Copper tubes and pipes
Chapter 74: Copper and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 741122 when importing or exporting copper tubes and pipes made from copper-nickel base alloys, such as cupro-nickel or nickel silver. For example, a shipment of 100 meters of cupro-nickel piping for marine applications would fall under this code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers tubes and pipes that are primarily composed of copper-nickel alloys, distinguishing them from other copper products like pure copper pipes classified under HS-6 741110. The difference lies in the alloy composition, which affects their corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
When considering similar products, note that HS-6 741121 includes copper tubes and pipes made from other copper alloys, which may not have the same properties as those made from copper-nickel alloys. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper classification and compliance.
Copper-nickel tubes are commonly used in marine environments, heat exchangers, and plumbing systems due to their excellent resistance to corrosion. If you're unsure whether your product fits this code, consider its alloy composition and intended use.
