U.S. imports of copper articles — cast, molded, stamped or forged, not further worked (HS 741920) totaled $2.7M in April 2026, traded with 27 countries.
Importers of Copper Articles — Cast, Molded, Stamped or Forged, Not Further Worked paid $931K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 49% on $1.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCast, stamped, or forged copper articles that have not been further machined or finished occupy a distinct intermediate-goods niche, supplying downstream manufacturers with near-net-shape blanks for valves, fittings, and mechanical components. The two 10-digit lines separate brass plumbing goods (7419200010) from all other copper articles in this processing state (7419200050). Italy leads US supply under this heading, with Turkey a close second — both countries have well-established brass foundry and forging industries serving global plumbing and industrial markets. The 'not further worked' condition is the critical classification boundary: any subsequent machining, threading, or surface finishing moves the article to a different subheading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
'Not further worked' means the article has been shaped by casting, molding, stamping, or forging but has not undergone any subsequent manufacturing operation such as machining, drilling, threading, polishing, or coating. Once a cast brass blank is machined to final dimensions or threaded, it is no longer 'not further worked' and must be reclassified — typically under a more specific heading such as 7415 for fasteners or 7418 for household articles.
Both countries have concentrated brass foundry and hot-forging industries — particularly in northern Italy's Brescia region and Turkey's Bursa province — that produce high-volume brass valve bodies, fitting blanks, and plumbing components for global export. Their combination of alloy expertise, established tooling infrastructure, and competitive labor costs has made them the primary sources for US importers of semi-finished brass forgings.
