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

HS code 740990 covers a wide range of copper alloy products, including plates, sheets, and strips that are thicker than 0.15mm. These copper alloy materials are essential components in various industries, from construction and electrical engineering to transportation and consumer goods manufacturing. Their unique properties, such as high electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability, make them indispensable in many applications across the global economy.

Production process

The production of copper alloy plates, sheets, and strips typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including copper and other alloying elements, are melted and cast into ingots or billets. These semi-finished products are then subjected to various metalworking techniques, such as rolling, drawing, or extrusion, to achieve the desired thickness, shape, and surface finish. The final products are then inspected, tested, and packaged for distribution to various end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 740990 products include copper, alloying elements (such as zinc, tin, nickel, or other metals), and specialized metalworking equipment like rolling mills, drawing machines, and extrusion presses. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities, and skilled labor is required to operate the machinery and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The copper alloy plates, sheets, and strips produced under HS code 740990 are used in a wide range of applications, including 741420 Copper; cooking or heating apparatus of a kind used for domestic purposes, non-electric, and parts thereof, 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, and 870810 (Bumpers and parts thereof (including bumper bars), for motor vehicles). These products are often further processed or incorporated into more complex assemblies and end-products across various industries.
