7411.10 - Of refined copper:

This HTS category, 7411.10, encompasses copper tubes and pipes that are specifically manufactured from refined copper. Refined copper is a pure form of copper, typically with a minimum copper content of 99.8%. The key defining characteristic of goods within this classification is their material composition, being exclusively of this high-purity refined copper, distinguishing them from tubes and pipes made from copper alloys.

In contrast to its sibling category, 7411.20 (which covers tubes and pipes of copper alloys), this section focuses solely on the unwrought or refined copper content. Goods classified here will not contain significant alloying elements beyond those inherent in the refining process. This distinction is crucial for customs purposes, as tariffs and regulations can vary based on the specific composition of copper products.

The subcategories within 7411.10 further refine the classification based on the manufacturing method or specific type of product. These include "Seamless" tubes and pipes, which are formed without a welded seam, and "Other," which would encompass tubes and pipes manufactured through methods that may involve welding or other forming processes, provided they meet the refined copper material specification. Understanding these distinctions is essential for accurate import and export declarations.
