HS v2017 Code: 740319

About copper; refined, unwrought, n.e.c. in item no. 7403.1

HS code 740319 covers refined, unwrought copper that is not classified elsewhere in the 7403 heading. Copper is a vital non-ferrous metal with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. It is highly conductive, corrosion-resistant, and malleable, making it essential for electrical wiring, plumbing, and various manufacturing processes. The copper industry plays a significant role in the global economy, supporting industries such as construction, electronics, and transportation.

Production process

Refined copper under HS code 740319 is typically produced through a multi-stage process. First, copper ore is mined and concentrated. The concentrated ore is then smelted to produce 'blister' copper, which is further refined through electrolytic or fire refining methods. These processes remove impurities and increase the copper content to over 99.9% purity, resulting in the high-quality, unwrought copper covered by this code.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of refined, unwrought copper under HS code 740319 include copper ore, energy sources (such as electricity or coal), and various chemicals and reagents used in the smelting and refining processes. Specialized equipment, such as furnaces, electrolytic cells, and casting machinery, are also essential for the manufacturing of this product.

Production outputs

Refined, unwrought copper produced under HS code 740319 is a versatile material that serves as a key input for a wide range of industries. It is commonly used in the manufacture of 740311 Copper; refined, in the form of cathodes and sections of cathodes and 740312 Copper; refined, in the form of wire-bars, which are further processed into various copper products. The refined copper covered by this code is also used in the production of electrical wiring, plumbing fittings, and a variety of other copper-based components and products.
