7411.10.50.00 - Other

HTS Code 7411.10.50.00, described as "Other," encompasses copper tubes and pipes of refined copper that are not classified under the "Seamless" category (7411.10.10). This classification applies to any tubes and pipes made from refined copper, meeting the general definition of a hollow cylindrical shape used for conveying fluids or gases, which do not fit the specific criteria of being seamless.

The key distinction lies in the manufacturing method. While seamless tubes are formed without welds or joints through processes like extrusion or piercing, tubes classified under 7411.10.50.00 are typically manufactured by other methods. This would include, but is not limited to, welded tubes and pipes, such as those formed by electric resistance welding (ERW), submerged arc welding (SAW), or brazing. The presence of a weld seam, or the absence of being formed through seamless processes, is the defining characteristic for inclusion in this residual category.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under this specific HTS code. Therefore, the classification hinges solely on the material being refined copper and the product being a tube or pipe that is not seamless. Examples that would fall under this category include copper pipes joined by welding to create the cylindrical form, or those manufactured through other fabrication processes that result in a seam.
