HS v2017 Code: 740919

About copper; plates and sheets, of a thickness exceeding 0.15mm, of refined copper, not in coils

HS code 740919 covers the trade and production of refined copper plates and sheets that exceed 0.15mm in thickness, excluding those in coil form. This industry plays a crucial role in the global metal manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications, from electrical wiring to roofing and plumbing components.

Production process

The production of refined copper plates and sheets under HS code 740919 typically involves a multi-step process. First, pure copper is extracted from copper ore through smelting and refining techniques. The refined copper is then cast into ingots or billets, which are subsequently rolled or extruded into the desired plate or sheet thickness, exceeding 0.15mm. Advanced manufacturing methods, such as continuous casting and rolling, help ensure consistent quality and dimensional accuracy of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of refined copper plates and sheets under HS code 740919 include high-purity copper as the primary raw material, as well as specialized rolling and cutting equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the various stages of the manufacturing process. Skilled labor, including metallurgists and machine operators, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 740919 are refined copper plates and sheets, which are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries. These include the 731010 Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, of iron or steel, of a capacity not exceeding 300 l, whether or not lined or heat-insulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment industry, the 853710 Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases, equipped with two or more apparatus of heading 8535 or 8536, for electric control or the distribution of electricity, including those incorporating instruments or apparatus of Chapter 90, and numerical control apparatus, other than switching apparatus of heading 8517 industry, and the 732111 Cooking appliances and plate warmers for domestic use, non-electric, of iron or steel industry, among others.
