Copper and articles thereof

HS v2017 Code: 74

About copper and articles thereof

HS code 74 covers a wide range of copper products, from raw copper materials to finished copper articles. Copper is a highly versatile and essential metal, with applications across various industries, including construction, electrical and electronics, transportation, and industrial machinery. As a key component in many products, the copper industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting economic growth and development.

Production process

The production of copper and copper articles typically involves several key steps. Copper ore is first mined and processed to extract pure copper metal. The copper is then smelted, refined, and cast into various forms, such as ingots, bars, or sheets. These raw copper materials can then be further processed through techniques like rolling, drawing, or extrusion to create a wide range of copper products, including wires, pipes, tubes, and various copper-based components.

Production inputs

The copper industry relies on several key inputs, including copper ore, energy sources (such as electricity and fuel), and various manufacturing equipment and machinery. Copper ore is the primary raw material, and its availability and quality can significantly impact the industry. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce, transportation infrastructure, and access to markets to support the production and distribution of copper products.

Production outputs

The copper industry produces a diverse range of outputs, including 7401 (Copper mattes; cement copper (precipitated copper)) , 7402 Unrefined copper; copper anodes for electrolytic refining, 7403 Refined copper and copper alloys, unwrought, 7404 Copper waste and scrap, and a wide variety of copper articles, such as 7407 Copper bars, rods and profiles, 7408 Copper wire, 7409 Copper plates, sheets and strip, of a thickness exceeding 0.15 mm, and 7411 Copper tubes and pipes. These copper products are then consumed by various industries, including construction, electrical and electronics, transportation, and industrial machinery.
