Heading 7407

Copper bars, rods and profiles

15 declarable lines

Heading 7407 covers copper bars, rods and profiles, meaning solid wrought copper products of uniform cross section along their length. The heading splits first by material, refined copper in 7407.10 and copper alloys in 7407.21 and 7407.29, then by whether the article is a profile or a bar or rod. Alloy lines further split by alloy family, such as brass or cupro-nickel, and bars and rods split by cross section shape.

Products in this heading

How to choose the right subheading

Material: refined copper goes to 7407.10, copper alloys to 7407.21 or 7407.29.
Article type: profiles take the profile subheadings, bars and rods take the bar and rod subheadings.
For profiles: whether the profile is hollow or not.
For alloy bars and rods: the alloy family, brass (copper-zinc), cupro-nickel or nickel silver, or other.
For bars and rods: whether the cross section is rectangular, which carries a lower rate than other shapes in some lines.

Often confused with

Copper wire
Wire is drawn to a small diameter and is classified separately from bars and rods.
Heading 7408
Copper tubes and pipes
Hollow products with a continuous wall forming a tube are classified as tubes, not as hollow profiles.
Heading 7411
Copper plates, sheets and strip
Flat rolled goods over 0.15 mm thick are classified by thickness and form, not as bars or profiles.
Heading 7409
Unwrought refined copper in ingots or billets
Unwrought metal in primary forms belongs to heading 7403, not to 7407.
Heading 7403
Copper powders and flakes
Granular or flake metal is classified as powder, not as a solid bar or profile.
Heading 7406

Frequently asked questions

What is the HTS code for low fuming brass brazing rods?

Low fuming brazing rods of copper-zinc base alloys (brass) are classified under 7407.21.50.00, with a general (MFN) rate of 2.2%.

What is the duty on refined copper bars with a rectangular cross section?

Refined copper bars and rods having a rectangular cross section fall under 7407.10.50.10, with a general (MFN) rate of 1%.

How do I classify a hollow copper profile?

Start with the material: refined copper hollow profiles go to 7407.10.15.00 at a general (MFN) rate of 3%, brass hollow profiles go to 7407.21.15.00 at 2.2%, and other copper alloy hollow profiles go to 7407.29.16.80 at 3%.
