Last updated: April 2026 dataCut-to-length refined copper plates, sheets, and strip — supplied flat rather than in coil — serve architectural cladding, bus bar fabrication, and heavy electrical equipment where coil handling is impractical. The US schedule organizes this heading by thickness and width: 7409191000 covers material 5 mm or more thick, 7409195000 addresses sub-5 mm product at least 500 mm wide, and 7409199000 captures narrower sub-5 mm material. Peru leads US imports under this heading, reflecting its position as a major refined copper producer, with Germany and Finland also significant sources. Section 232 tariff exposure applies and should be factored into sourcing decisions.

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.
