HS v2022 Code: 741011

About copper; foil, not backed, of a thickness not exceeding 0.15mm, of refined copper

HS code 741011 covers the trade and production of copper foil, a thin and flexible material with a wide range of industrial applications. As a highly conductive and corrosion-resistant metal, copper foil plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of electronic components, printed circuit boards, and various other products that are essential to modern technology and infrastructure. This industry's significance extends across multiple sectors, contributing to the global economy through international trade and supporting the development of advanced electronics and electrical systems.

Production process

The production of copper foil under HS code 741011 typically involves a process known as electroplating. In this method, a thin layer of pure copper is deposited onto a metal substrate, such as a stainless steel or aluminum sheet, through an electrochemical process. The copper foil is then peeled off the substrate, resulting in a thin, flexible, and highly conductive material that can be further processed or used directly in various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper foil under HS code 741011 include refined copper, which serves as the primary raw material, as well as specialized electroplating equipment and chemicals. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production machinery and maintaining quality control standards throughout the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 741011 is copper foil, which is then used as a key component in the manufacture of 854411 Winding wire and 854420 Coaxial cable, as well as in the production of printed circuit boards, electronic devices, and various other applications that require a thin, conductive, and corrosion-resistant material.
