About copper; plates, sheets and strip, of a thickness exceeding 0.15mm, of copper alloys (other than copper-zinc base alloys, copper-tin base alloys, copper-nickel base alloys or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys)

HS code 740990 covers a wide range of copper alloy products, including plates, sheets, and strips that are thicker than 0.15mm. These copper alloy materials are essential components in various industries, from construction and electrical engineering to automotive and aerospace manufacturing. They offer unique properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability, making them invaluable in numerous applications across the global economy.

Production process

The production of copper alloy plates, sheets, and strips under HS code 740990 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the desired copper alloy composition is melted and cast into ingots or billets. These raw materials are then subjected to hot or cold rolling techniques to achieve the desired thickness and shape. Depending on the specific application, the rolled products may undergo additional processing, such as annealing, cutting, or surface finishing, to meet the required specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper alloy plates, sheets, and strips under HS code 740990 include copper and other alloying elements, such as zinc, tin, nickel, or aluminum. High-quality raw materials and specialized machinery, such as rolling mills and annealing furnaces, are essential for the efficient and consistent production of these copper alloy products. Additionally, skilled labor and advanced manufacturing techniques are necessary to ensure the desired properties and quality of the final products.

Production outputs

The copper alloy plates, sheets, and strips produced under HS code 740990 are widely used in a variety of industries. They serve as key components in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment, construction materials, automotive parts, and aerospace components. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by other industries, such as 853710 Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases, equipped with two or more apparatus of heading 8535 or 8536, for electric control or the distribution of electricity, 870323 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, including station wagons and racing cars, with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc, and 880320 Parts of goods of heading 8801 or 8802, among others.
