About copper; wire, of copper alloys (other than copper-zinc base alloys, copper-nickel base alloys or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys)

HS code 740829 covers a wide range of copper wire products made from copper alloys, excluding certain base alloys. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential raw materials for a variety of manufacturing and construction sectors. Copper wire is a highly versatile commodity, finding applications in electrical wiring, telecommunications, plumbing, and numerous other industries that are vital to modern economic development.

Production process

The production of copper wire under HS code 740829 typically involves a series of metalworking processes. Raw copper alloy materials are first melted and cast into billets or rods. These are then drawn through a series of dies to reduce the diameter and increase the length, resulting in the desired wire form. Annealing and other heat treatments may be used to adjust the wire's physical properties, such as tensile strength and conductivity, to meet specific application requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of copper wire under HS code 740829 include copper alloy raw materials, such as 740321 (Copper; copper alloys, unwrought, copper-zinc base alloys (brass)), 740322 (Copper; copper alloys, unwrought, copper-nickel base alloys or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys (cupro-nickel or nickel silver)), and other copper alloy compositions. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as wire-drawing equipment, and energy resources are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 740829 is copper wire made from a variety of copper alloys, excluding certain base alloys. This wire is widely used in the production of 854411 Winding wire, of copper, 854420 Coaxial cable and other coaxial electric conductors, and 854449 Electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, not fitted with connectors, among other products that are classified under different HS codes.
