HS Code 7412Copper; tube or pipe fittings (e.g. couplings, elbows, sleeves)
2 six-digit codes · Heading 12 of 16 in Chapter 74 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7412 is the customs code for copper fittings that join, bend or seal pipes and tubes. Pick the six-digit code by the metal, and check the nearby headings first.
Heading 7412 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Copper; tube or pipe fittings (e.g. couplings, elbows, sleeves)” classify either at 741210 or at 741220, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 12 of 16 in Chapter 74, Copper and articles thereof, which runs to 49 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 7412 covers
These are the small parts that connect copper tubes or pipes to each other. Couplings join two lengths. Elbows turn the line. Sleeves slide over a joint and hold it in place.
The Harmonized System is a global naming list run by the WCO. Because of it, a copper tube fitting gets the same first six digits in almost every trading country. Some countries, such as India, call the same number the HSN code 7412.
HS 7412 code structure
An HS code works like an address. It starts wide and gets more exact with each level. For copper tube fittings the path looks like this:
- Section XV: Base Metals and Articles of Base Metal
- Chapter 74: copper and articles thereof
- Heading 7412: copper tube or pipe fittings
- Subheading 741210: fittings of refined copper
- Subheading 741220: fittings of copper alloys
741210 vs 741220: refined copper or copper alloy
Only one thing separates the two subheadings. That thing is the material the fitting is made of.
Use 741210 when the fitting is made of refined copper. This is copper that has been purified, with no other metals added on purpose. Use 741220 when the fitting is made of a copper alloy. An alloy is copper mixed with another metal. Brass is a common example, so brass pipe fittings usually point to 741220.
To choose, look at the material on the product sheet or the mill certificate. If you are unsure, run the item through the HS code classifier before you file.
Headings often confused with 7412
Some copper goods look close to fittings but sit in other headings. Check these before you settle on 7412.
Plain lengths of copper tube or pipe belong in heading 7411. A fitting is a part that connects pipes, not the pipe itself. Copper screws, bolts, nuts and washers go to heading 7415. Copper household and sanitary articles go to heading 7418. Copper articles that fit nowhere else in the chapter go to heading 7419. Solid copper bars and rods go to heading 7407.
- 7411: copper tubes and pipes
- 7415: nails, screws, bolts and similar fasteners
- 7418: household articles and sanitary ware
- 7419: other copper articles
