About copper; wire, of copper alloys (other than copper-zinc base alloys, copper-nickel base alloys or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys)

HS code 740829 covers copper wire made from copper alloys, excluding copper-zinc, copper-nickel, and copper-nickel-zinc base alloys. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader metal manufacturing and electrical/electronics sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications, from construction and infrastructure to consumer electronics and telecommunications.

Production process

The production of copper wire under HS code 740829 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the copper alloy is melted and cast into billets or rods. These are then drawn through a series of dies to reduce the diameter and increase the length, creating the desired wire. Annealing and other heat treatments may be used to adjust the wire's physical properties, such as tensile strength and conductivity.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry include copper alloy ingots or billets, which serve as the raw material. Specialized wire-drawing equipment, such as dies, rollers, and annealing furnaces, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, to power the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is copper wire made from various copper alloys, which can be used in a wide range of applications. These wires may be further processed or incorporated into 854411 Winding wire or 854420 Coaxial cable for use in electrical and electronic equipment, as well as 731210 Stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands, slings and the like, of iron or steel for construction and infrastructure projects.
