About copper tubes and pipes

HS code 7411 covers the trade and production of copper tubes and pipes, which are essential components in a wide range of industries. Copper's unique properties, such as its high thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability, make it a preferred material for various applications, including plumbing, HVAC systems, electrical wiring, and industrial equipment. The copper tubes and pipes industry plays a crucial role in supporting the infrastructure, manufacturing, and construction sectors, contributing significantly to the global economy.

Production process

Copper tubes and pipes are typically produced through a process known as extrusion. In this method, a solid copper billet is heated and then forced through a die, which shapes the material into the desired tube or pipe form. The extruded copper is then subjected to further processing, such as drawing, to achieve the required dimensions and surface finish. Specialized techniques like annealing and tempering may also be employed to enhance the mechanical properties of the final product.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of copper tubes and pipes is refined copper, which is obtained from copper ore through smelting and refining processes. Other key inputs include various alloying elements, such as zinc or tin, which can be added to modify the properties of the copper. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, including extrusion presses, drawing machines, and cutting tools, to shape and finish the copper products.

Production outputs

Copper tubes and pipes produced under HS code 7411 find applications in a wide range of industries. They are commonly used in 8415 Air conditioning machines, 8418 Refrigerators, freezers and other refrigerating or freezing equipment, and 8421 Centrifuges, filtering or purifying machinery, as well as in plumbing systems, electrical wiring, and various industrial equipment. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by manufacturers and service providers in the 84 Machinery, mechanical appliances, nuclear reactors, boilers; parts thereof, 85 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles, and 86 (Railway or tramway locomotives, rolling-stock and parts thereof; railway or tramway track fixtures and fittings and parts thereof; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) traffic signalling equipment of all kinds) sectors.
