U.S. imports of cupro-nickel & nickel-silver tubes and pipes (HS 741122) totaled $4.6M in July 2026, traded with 14 countries.
Importers of Cupro-Nickel & Nickel-Silver Tubes and Pipes paid $849K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 53% on $1.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Cupro-Nickel & Nickel-Silver Tubes and Pipes imports of $4.6M in July 2026 ran 12% below the year-to-date monthly average of $5.2M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataTubes and pipes of cupro-nickel (copper-nickel base alloys) and nickel-silver (copper-nickel-zinc base alloys) are engineered for demanding environments — marine heat exchangers, desalination condensers, and high-pressure fluid systems — where resistance to seawater corrosion and biofouling is paramount. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit line (7411220000), simplifying classification but placing the burden on alloy documentation to distinguish these products from brass or other copper alloy tubes. Mexico leads US supply, followed by Germany and South Korea.

Cupro-nickel alloys are copper-nickel binary or near-binary alloys (commonly 90/10 or 70/30 Cu/Ni grades) with no significant zinc content. Nickel-silver adds zinc to the copper-nickel base, producing a silvery appearance used in decorative and instrument applications. Both fall under 7411220000, but the alloy designation on the mill certificate must clearly identify the base system to support the classification.
Mexico's position reflects established manufacturing capacity for specialty copper alloy tubular products serving North American industrial and HVAC markets. As a USMCA partner, qualifying goods of Mexican origin may be eligible for preferential duty treatment, provided the product meets the applicable rules of origin — including tariff shift and, where required, regional value content thresholds. Importers should confirm USMCA eligibility with a licensed customs broker.
