About copper; wire, of refined copper, of which the maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 6mm

HS code 740811 covers the trade and production of refined copper wire with a cross-sectional dimension exceeding 6mm. This type of copper wire is a crucial component in various industries, including construction, electrical and electronics, and transportation. As a highly conductive material, it plays a vital role in the efficient transmission of electricity and signals, making it an essential element in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of copper wire under HS code 740811 typically involves a multi-step process. First, refined copper is melted and cast into billets or rods. These raw materials are then fed into a wire-drawing machine, where they are drawn through a series of progressively smaller dies to reduce the diameter and increase the length of the wire. The wire may undergo additional heat treatment and surface finishing processes to enhance its properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper wire under HS code 740811 include refined copper, which serves as the primary raw material. Additionally, specialized wire-drawing equipment, such as dies, rollers, and tensioning systems, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities and maintain the required temperatures for melting and processing the copper.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 740811 is refined copper wire with a cross-sectional dimension exceeding 6mm. This wire is widely used in various applications, including 854411 Electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, fitted with connectors, 854420 Co-axial cable and other co-axial electric conductors, and 854449 Electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, not fitted with connectors. The copper wire produced under this code is a crucial input for the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment, as well as infrastructure projects in the construction industry.
