Copper; plates, sheets and strip, of a thickness exceeding 0.15mm, of copper-nickel base alloys (cupro-nickel) or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys (nickel silver)

HS v2017 Code: 740940

About copper; plates, sheets and strip, of a thickness exceeding 0.15mm, of copper-nickel base alloys (cupro-nickel) or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys (nickel silver)

HS code 740940 covers the import and export of copper plates, sheets, and strips that are more than 0.15mm thick, made from copper-nickel base alloys (cupro-nickel) or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys (nickel silver). These materials are widely used in various industries, including construction, electronics, and transportation, due to their unique properties such as corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and aesthetic appeal.

Production process

The production of copper plates, sheets, and strips under HS code 740940 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the copper-nickel or copper-nickel-zinc alloy is melted and cast into ingots or billets. These are then subjected to hot and cold rolling processes to achieve the desired thickness and shape. The rolled products may undergo further finishing operations, such as annealing, trimming, and surface treatment, to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 740940 include copper, nickel, and zinc as the primary raw materials. Specialized machinery, such as melting furnaces, rolling mills, and finishing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The copper plates, sheets, and strips produced under HS code 740940 are primarily used in a variety of applications, including 741420 Copper; cooking or heating apparatus of a kind used for domestic purposes, and parts thereof, of copper, 741510 (Copper; nails, tacks, staples (other than those of heading 83.05), screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, washers and similar articles), and 741810 Copper; table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof; pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like, of copper. These products are often further processed or incorporated into finished goods in various industries.
