HS v2022 Code: 740919

About copper; plates and sheets, of a thickness exceeding 0.15mm, of refined copper, not in coils

HS code 740919 covers the trade and production of refined copper plates and sheets that exceed 0.15mm in thickness, excluding those in coil form. This industry plays a vital role in the global metal manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications, from electrical wiring to building infrastructure.

Production process

The production of refined copper plates and sheets under HS code 740919 typically involves a multi-step process. First, pure copper is extracted from ore through smelting and refining techniques. The refined copper is then cast into ingots or billets, which are subsequently rolled or extruded into the desired plate or sheet form. Precise temperature and pressure controls are critical to ensuring the final products meet strict thickness and quality standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 740919 products include refined copper, as well as specialized rolling or extrusion machinery. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the various heating and processing stages. Additionally, skilled labor with expertise in metal fabrication and quality control is necessary to ensure the efficient and consistent production of these copper plates and sheets.

Production outputs

The copper plates and sheets produced under HS code 740919 are widely used in a variety of industries, including 741011 Copper; foil, of a thickness not exceeding 0.15mm, 741021 Copper; foil, of a thickness exceeding 0.15mm, and 741510 Copper; nails, tacks, staples, screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, washers and similar articles. These products serve as crucial raw materials for the manufacturing of electrical components, construction materials, and various industrial applications.
