Last updated: August 2026 dataRefined copper bars, rods, and profiles are semi-fabricated wrought forms used extensively in electrical bus bar systems, heat exchanger components, and machined parts requiring high conductivity. The US schedule breaks this heading into hollow profiles (7407101500), non-hollow profiles (7407103000), rectangular cross-section bars and rods (7407105010), and other bars and rods (7407105050), with cross-sectional geometry driving the line-level classification. Peru is the leading supplier, reflecting its position as a major refined copper producer, with Germany and Thailand also significant sources. Imports under this heading may be subject to Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum derivatives; importers should confirm current applicability to copper mill products with a licensed customs broker.

Bars and rods have uniform solid cross-sections that are circular, rectangular, hexagonal, or other simple geometric shapes. Profiles have more complex cross-sectional shapes—such as T, L, U, or custom extruded forms—that are not simple geometric solids. Hollow profiles (e.g., square or rectangular tubes) are further distinguished from solid profiles, each with their own 10-digit line under this heading.
Peru is one of the world's largest refined copper producers, with integrated smelting and rod-rolling capacity that allows it to export semi-fabricated forms directly. Proximity to US West Coast ports and competitive production costs reinforce its position. Importers sourcing from Peru should confirm whether USMCA or other preference programs apply, as Peru is not a US FTA partner and standard MFN rates apply.
