U.S. imports of copper alloy tube & pipe fittings (HS 741220) totaled $52.2M in April 2026, traded with 40 countries.
Importers of Copper Alloy Tube & Pipe Fittings paid $25.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 52% on $49.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCopper alloy tube and pipe fittings — predominantly brass, but also other copper alloys — are among the most widely traded copper semi-fabricated products, serving plumbing, automotive brake lines, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems. The US schedule is highly granular: it distinguishes fittings for vehicle brake systems (7412200015), threaded brass nipples (7412200025), other threaded brass fittings (7412200035), non-threaded brass fittings (7412200045), and parallel lines for non-brass copper alloy fittings. China leads US imports under this heading by a wide margin, with Germany and Thailand also supplying the market; Section 301 tariff exposure on Chinese-origin goods is a key cost consideration.

Line 7412200015 specifically covers copper tube and pipe fittings for use in the brake hydraulic systems of vehicles of HTS headings 8701.20 or 8702–8705. This end-use distinction requires importers to document the intended application; fittings not dedicated to those vehicle categories fall into the general threaded or non-threaded brass fitting lines depending on whether they carry threads.
The key variables are alloy composition (brass vs. other copper alloy), thread presence (threaded vs. non-threaded), and fitting type (nipple vs. other). A combination of the manufacturer's material certificate confirming copper-zinc alloy content, a product drawing or catalog sheet showing thread specifications, and — for brake fittings — an end-use certificate or purchase order referencing the vehicle application will support the correct line selection and withstand CBP review.
