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

HS code 740819 covers the trade and production of refined copper wire with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 6mm or less. This type of copper wire is a critical component in a wide range of industries, from electrical and electronics manufacturing to construction and infrastructure development. Its versatility and conductivity make it an essential material for power transmission, telecommunications, and various other applications that drive economic growth and technological advancement.

Production process

The production of refined copper wire under HS code 740819 typically involves a multi-step process. First, pure copper is extracted from copper ore through smelting and refining processes. The refined copper is then drawn into wire form through a series of drawing operations, where the copper is forced through a die to reduce its diameter while increasing its length. The wire may undergo additional treatments, such as annealing or coating, to enhance its properties and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of refined copper wire under HS code 740819 include refined copper as the primary raw material, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the wire drawing and processing operations. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production facilities. Other inputs may include lubricants, coolants, and various tools and accessories used in the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 740819 is refined copper wire, which is then consumed by a wide range of industries. This wire is used in the production of electrical cables, wiring harnesses, electronic components, and various other products that rely on the conductive properties of copper. Some of the other HS codes that may consume the output of 740819 include 854411 Winding wire, 854420 Coaxial cable and other coaxial electric conductors, and 854442 Electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, fitted with connectors, among others.
