Copper; foil, not backed, of a thickness not exceeding 0.15mm, of copper alloys

HS v2022 Code: 741012

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

HS code 741012 covers the import and export of copper foil, a thin and flexible material used in a variety of industries. Copper foil is an essential component in the production of printed circuit boards, electronics, and various other applications. As a highly conductive and malleable material, copper foil plays a crucial role in the global electronics and manufacturing sectors, contributing to the development of modern technologies and the broader economy.

Production process

The production of copper foil involves a process known as rolling. Copper or copper alloy ingots are heated and then passed through a series of rollers, which gradually reduce the thickness of the material to the desired specification. This process is carefully controlled to ensure the foil maintains its uniform thickness, typically not exceeding 0.15mm. The rolled copper foil is then cut and packaged for distribution to various industries.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of copper foil under HS code 741012 are copper and copper alloy raw materials. These materials are sourced from mining and refining operations, which extract and process the copper ore. Additionally, the production process requires specialized rolling equipment, such as rolling mills and cutting machinery, as well as energy sources to power the manufacturing facilities.

Production outputs

The main output of HS code 741012 is copper foil, which is then consumed by various industries, including 854411 Winding wire for electrical applications, 854420 Coaxial cable and other coaxial electric conductors for telecommunications, and 854442 Other electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, fitted with connectors for electronic devices. Copper foil is also used in the production of 854411 Printed circuits and other electronic components.
