7407.10.50.10 - Having a rectangular cross section

This HTS category, 7407.10.50.10, specifically classifies bars and rods of refined copper that possess a rectangular cross-section. This includes products such as copper rectangles, strips, and other similarly shaped solid cross-sectional forms that are not wire, tube, or pipe. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subheading is the precise geometric shape of the cross-section, mandating a rectangular form.

It is important to distinguish these rectangular cross-section bars and rods from their sibling category, 7407.10.50.50, which covers "Other" bars and rods of refined copper. The sibling category would encompass any refined copper bars and rods that do not have a rectangular cross-section, such as those with circular, square, hexagonal, or irregular shapes. Therefore, the key differentiator lies solely in the specific cross-sectional geometry.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7407.10.50.10 is final for refined copper bars and rods meeting the rectangular cross-section criterion. Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods precisely match this geometric requirement to avoid misclassification, paying close attention to the solid, non-hollow nature and the distinct rectangular profile.
