Copper; foil, not backed, of a thickness not exceeding 0.15mm, of refined copper

HS v2017 Code: 741011

About copper; foil, not backed, of a thickness not exceeding 0.15mm, of refined copper

HS code 741011 covers the trade and production of copper foil, a thin and flexible material with a wide range of industrial applications. Copper foil is a crucial component in various electronic devices, printed circuit boards, and packaging solutions. Its importance extends across multiple sectors, including electronics, telecommunications, and renewable energy, making it a vital contributor to the broader global economy.

Production process

The production of copper foil involves a process known as electroplating. Refined copper is first melted and cast into thin sheets or rolls. These sheets are then passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce their thickness to the desired specification, often less than 0.15mm. The copper foil is then subjected to an electroplating process, where it is coated with a thin layer of pure copper to enhance its conductivity and durability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper foil under HS code 741011 include refined copper, which serves as the primary raw material, as well as specialized rolling and electroplating equipment. Additionally, the manufacturing process may require various chemicals and solutions to facilitate the electroplating and finishing stages.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 741011 is copper foil, which is then used as a key component in the production of 854411 Winding wire for electrical machinery and equipment, 853400 Printed circuits, and 854420 Coaxial cable and other coaxial electric conductors. Copper foil is also utilized in the manufacture of 854411 Winding wire for transformers and other electrical devices, as well as in the production of 853400 Printed circuits for various electronic applications.
