Copper foil (whether or not printed or backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials) of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15mm

HS v2022 Code: 7410

About copper foil (whether or not printed or backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials) of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15mm

HS code 7410 covers copper foil, a thin and versatile material with a wide range of applications in various industries. Copper foil is an essential component in the production of printed circuit boards, electronics, and numerous other products that rely on its unique electrical and thermal properties. As a key input for many high-tech and manufacturing sectors, the copper foil industry plays a vital role in the global economy.

Production process

Copper foil is typically produced through a process called electroplating. In this method, a thin layer of copper is deposited onto a base material, such as a metal or plastic sheet, using an electrical current. The thickness of the copper foil can be precisely controlled by adjusting the duration and intensity of the electroplating process. After the copper layer is deposited, the foil may undergo additional processing, such as rolling, annealing, or printing, to meet specific requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper foil include high-purity copper, which serves as the raw material, as well as specialized electroplating equipment and chemicals. Additionally, the industry relies on various machinery and tools for the subsequent processing and finishing of the copper foil, such as rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and printing presses.

Production outputs

The primary output of the copper foil industry is, of course, copper foil itself. This material is then consumed by a wide range of industries, including the 8534 Printed circuits industry, which uses copper foil as a key component in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. Copper foil is also used in the production of 8504 Electrical transformers, static converters and inductors, 8506 Primary cells and primary batteries, and various other electrical and electronic products.
