Copper; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, not electrically insulated

HS v2017 Code: 7413

About copper; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, not electrically insulated

HS code 7413 covers a range of copper products, including stranded wire, cables, and plaited bands, which are not electrically insulated. These copper-based materials play a crucial role in various industries, from construction and infrastructure to electronics and telecommunications. As a versatile and highly conductive metal, copper is in high demand globally, making the 7413 industry an important contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 7413 typically involves several key steps. First, copper is extracted from ore and refined to the desired purity. The refined copper is then drawn into wires or extruded into cables and bands. Depending on the specific product, the copper may be further processed, such as by twisting or plaiting the strands to create the desired configuration. Advanced techniques, such as the use of specialized machinery and quality control measures, ensure the consistent production of high-quality copper products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 7413 include raw copper, as well as various machinery and equipment necessary for the manufacturing process. Copper ore, which is mined from the earth, is the primary raw material. Additional inputs may include lubricants, protective coatings, and specialized tools for the drawing, extruding, and plaiting of the copper. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production equipment and ensure the quality of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 7413 industry are copper stranded wire, cables, and plaited bands. These products are widely used in a variety of applications, including 8544 Electric conductors, insulated; wire, cable, other electric conductors, insulated, fitted with connectors or not; optical fibre cables, 8501 Electric motors and generators, and 8536 (Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp-holders, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V; connectors for optical fibres, optical fibre bundles or cables). The versatility and conductivity of copper make these products essential components in numerous industries, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.
