HS v2017 Code: 741012

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

HS code 741012 covers the trade of copper foil, a thin and flexible material made from copper alloys. This product is widely used in various industries, including electronics, telecommunications, and construction, due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as its corrosion resistance. The global copper foil market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for advanced electronic devices and the need for efficient energy transmission systems.

Production process

The production of copper foil involves a multi-step process. First, copper alloy ingots are cast and then rolled into thin sheets. These sheets are then further processed through a series of rolling and annealing steps to achieve the desired thickness, typically not exceeding 0.15mm. The final foil is then coiled or cut into specific shapes and sizes to meet the requirements of various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper foil under HS code 741012 include copper alloy raw materials, such as copper, zinc, and other alloying elements. Additionally, specialized rolling and annealing equipment, as well as various chemicals and lubricants, are necessary for the manufacturing process. The availability of skilled labor and access to reliable energy sources are also crucial for the efficient production of copper foil.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 741012 is copper foil, which is used in a wide range of applications. This material is often consumed by industries producing 854411 Winding wire for electrical equipment, 854420 Coaxial cable and other coaxial electric conductors, and 854442 Insulated electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, fitted with connectors, among others. The versatility of copper foil makes it an essential component in the manufacturing of various electronic devices, printed circuit boards, and energy-efficient systems.
