Insulated electric conductors; winding wire, of copper

HS v2017 Code: 854411

About insulated electric conductors; winding wire, of copper

hs code 854411 covers the import and export of insulated electric conductors and winding wire made of copper. This industry is a critical component of the broader electrical and electronics manufacturing sector, providing essential materials for a wide range of applications, from power transmission and distribution to consumer electronics and industrial automation. The global demand for these products is driven by the ongoing electrification of economies worldwide, as well as the increasing complexity and sophistication of electrical and electronic systems across various industries.

Production process

The production of insulated electric conductors and winding wire involves several key steps. First, high-purity copper is drawn into thin wires or strands. These are then coated with various insulating materials, such as plastic, rubber, or enamel, to protect the conductive core and prevent short circuits. The insulated wires may then be twisted or braided together to form multi-strand cables or wound into coils for use as winding wire in transformers, motors, and other electrical equipment.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 854411 products include high-quality copper as the primary raw material, as well as a range of insulating materials such as PVC, polyethylene, and enamel. Specialized machinery, such as wire-drawing equipment, insulation extruders, and winding machines, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in electrical engineering, materials science, and production techniques.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the hs code 854411 industry are insulated electric conductors and winding wire, which are used in a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 854420 Electric conductors, for a voltage <= 1,000 V, not fitted with connectors, 854430 Electric conductors, for a voltage > 1,000 V, and 850300 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading 8501 or 8502, among others. The insulated conductors and winding wire produced under this code are essential components in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment, power transmission and distribution systems, and various industrial applications.
