The sole structural distinction is presentation: 740911 covers coiled material, while 740919 covers the same thickness range (over 0.15 mm) supplied in flat, cut-to-length form. The thickness and width sub-classifications within each heading mirror each other, so the coil-versus-flat determination at the time of importation drives the heading choice.
Peru is one of the world's largest copper mining and smelting nations, and its integrated smelter-to-rolling-mill capacity allows it to export refined copper flat products competitively. Proximity to US West Coast ports and established commercial relationships with US industrial buyers reinforce Peru's position at the top of the supplier list for this heading.
