Copper and articles thereof

HS v2022 Code: 74

About copper and articles thereof

HS code 74 covers a wide range of copper products, from raw copper materials to finished copper articles. Copper is a highly versatile and valuable metal, with applications across numerous industries, including construction, electronics, transportation, and industrial machinery. As a key component in many essential products, the copper industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting economic growth and development worldwide.

Production process

The production of copper and copper articles typically involves several key steps. First, copper ore is extracted from mines and then processed to produce pure copper metal. This copper is then melted and cast into various shapes, such as ingots, bars, or sheets, depending on the intended use. Copper products may also undergo further processing, such as rolling, drawing, or extrusion, to create the desired shapes and forms.

Production inputs

The copper industry relies on a variety of inputs, including copper ore, energy sources (such as electricity and fuel), and specialized machinery and equipment for mining, smelting, and processing. Additionally, the industry may utilize other materials, such as alloying elements (e.g., zinc, tin, or nickel), to produce specific copper alloys with unique properties.

Production outputs

The copper industry produces a wide range of outputs, including 7401 (Copper mattes; cement copper (precipitated copper)) , 7402 Unrefined copper; copper anodes for electrolytic refining, 7403 Refined copper and copper alloys, unwrought, and various copper articles, such as 7404 Copper waste and scrap, 7405 Master alloys of copper, and 7406 Copper powders and flakes. These copper products are then consumed by a variety of industries, including 85 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles, 86 (Railway or tramway locomotives, rolling-stock and parts thereof; railway or tramway track fixtures and fittings and parts thereof; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) traffic signalling equipment of all kinds), and 87 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof.
