HS v2022 Code: 740319

About copper; refined, unwrought, n.e.c. in item no. 7403.1

HS code 740319 covers refined, unwrought copper that is not elsewhere classified under the broader 7403.1 category. Copper is a vital industrial metal with a wide range of applications, from electrical wiring and plumbing to manufacturing and construction. As a highly conductive and corrosion-resistant material, refined copper plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting the development of infrastructure, technology, and various industrial sectors.

Production process

The production of refined, unwrought copper (740319) typically involves a multi-step process. First, copper ore is extracted from mines and then processed through smelting and refining techniques to remove impurities and produce pure copper. The refined copper is then cast into various shapes, such as ingots, billets, or cathodes, for further processing or direct use in manufacturing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of refined, unwrought copper (740319) include copper ore, energy sources (such as electricity or natural gas), and various chemicals and reagents used in the smelting and refining processes. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as furnaces, electrolytic cells, and casting machinery, are essential for the efficient production of this copper product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 740319 is refined, unwrought copper in various forms, such as ingots, billets, or cathodes. This copper is then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 850110 Electric motors and generators, 841430 Air or vacuum pumps, 870710 (Bodies (including cabs) for motor vehicles), and 940510 Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings.
