Copper foil (whether or not printed or backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials) of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15mm

HS v2017 Code: 7410

About copper foil (whether or not printed or backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials) of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15mm

HS code 7410 covers copper foil, a versatile material with a wide range of applications in various industries. Copper foil is a thin, flexible sheet of copper that can be used for a variety of purposes, including electronics, packaging, and decorative applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential components for many high-tech and consumer products.

Production process

The production of copper foil typically involves a process called electroplating. In this method, a thin layer of copper is deposited onto a substrate, such as a metal sheet or a polymer film, using an electrical current. The thickness of the copper foil is controlled by the duration and intensity of the electroplating process. After the copper is deposited, the foil may undergo additional processing, such as rolling, cutting, or printing, to meet the specific requirements of the end-use application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper foil include copper as the primary raw material, as well as various chemicals and equipment used in the electroplating process. Copper is typically sourced from copper mines or recycled from scrap metal. Other key inputs include the substrate material, such as paper, plastic, or metal, as well as the electrical power and specialized machinery required for the electroplating and post-processing steps.

Production outputs

The primary output of the copper foil industry is, of course, copper foil itself. This material is widely used in the production of 8517 Telephone sets, including telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks, 8518 Microphones and stands therefor; loudspeakers, whether or not mounted in their enclosures; headphones, earphones and combined microphone/speaker sets; audio-frequency electric amplifiers; electric sound amplifier sets, and 8542 Electronic integrated circuits, among other products. The copper foil industry also produces various specialized products, such as printed circuit boards and decorative foils, which are used in a variety of applications.
