HS v2022 Code: 740811

About copper; wire, of refined copper, of which the maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 6mm

HS code 740811 covers the import and export of refined copper wire with a cross-sectional dimension exceeding 6mm. This type of copper wire is a critical component in a wide range of industries, including construction, electrical and electronics, and transportation. As a highly conductive and durable material, refined copper wire plays a vital role in the global economy, facilitating the efficient transmission of electricity and data.

Production process

The production of refined copper wire under HS code 740811 typically involves several key steps. First, pure copper is extracted from copper ore through a smelting and refining process. The refined copper is then drawn into wire form through a series of dies, with the wire diameter reduced to the desired specification. Finally, the copper wire may undergo additional processing, such as annealing or coating, to enhance its properties and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of refined copper wire under HS code 740811 include copper ore, energy sources (such as electricity or natural gas), and specialized machinery for wire drawing and processing. Additionally, various chemicals and lubricants may be used in the production process to ensure the wire meets quality standards.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 740811 is refined copper wire with a cross-sectional dimension exceeding 6mm. This wire is widely used in the manufacture of electrical cables, power transmission lines, and various industrial and consumer products. The output of this industry may be consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 854420 Electric conductors, for a voltage exceeding 1,000 V, 853610 Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, and 870710 (Bodies (including cabs), for the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705).
