Copper; bars, rods and profiles

HS v2022 Code: 7407

About copper; bars, rods and profiles

HS code 7407 covers the classification of copper bars, rods, and profiles. This industry is a crucial component of the broader metal manufacturing sector, providing essential raw materials and semi-finished products for a wide range of downstream industries. Copper's unique properties, such as its high electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability, make it a highly sought-after material in various applications, including electrical wiring, plumbing, construction, and transportation.

Production process

The production of copper bars, rods, and profiles typically involves a series of metalworking processes. The primary method is extrusion, where copper billets or ingots are heated and forced through a die to create the desired shape and cross-section. Other techniques, such as rolling and drawing, may also be employed to further refine the dimensions and surface finish of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper bars, rods, and profiles include 7402 Unrefined copper; copper anodes for electrolytic refining, 7403 Refined copper and copper alloys, unwrought, and various types of machinery and equipment used for metalworking processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 7407 are copper bars, rods, and profiles, which are then consumed by a range of downstream industries. These include 8501 Electric motors and generators, 8536 Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, 8544 Insulated wire, cable and other insulated electric conductors, and 7418 Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of copper; pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like, of copper, among others.
