Rigid PVC pipes for plumbing, drainage, and electrical conduit are classified under 3917.21. Flexible PVC hoses are 3917.32. CPVC (chlorinated PVC) pipes are also 3917.21. PVC pipe fittings (elbows, tees, couplings) are 3917.33. HDPE pipes are 3917.29 (other rigid pipes of plastics). Copper pipes for plumbing are 7411, and steel pipes are 7304 or 7306. The distinction between pipes and tubes for HS purposes is based on use, not purely on shape — both round hollow sections used for conveying fluids are covered by 3917.
