About copper; foil, backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing material, of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15mm, of refined copper

HS code 741021 covers the import and export of copper foil, a versatile material with a wide range of applications. Copper foil is a thin, flexible sheet of refined copper, typically less than 0.15mm thick, and is often backed with paper, paperboard, plastics, or similar materials. This product plays a crucial role in various industries, including electronics, packaging, and construction, making it an important component of the global trade landscape.

Production process

The production of copper foil involves several key steps. First, refined copper is melted and cast into thin sheets or strips. These sheets are then rolled and annealed to achieve the desired thickness and flexibility. Depending on the application, the copper foil may be coated or laminated with a backing material, such as paper or plastic, to provide additional strength and stability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper foil under HS code 741021 include refined copper, as well as the backing materials such as paper, paperboard, and plastics. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills and annealing furnaces, are necessary to manufacture the copper foil to the required specifications. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 741021 is copper foil, which is then used as a raw material or component in a variety of downstream industries. Some of the key industries that consume copper foil include 854411 Winding wire, 854420 Coaxial cable, 854430 Ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets for vehicles, aircraft or ships, and 854442 Other electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, fitted with connectors. Additionally, copper foil may be used in the production of 760711 Aluminium foil, of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm, not backed, 760720 Aluminium foil, backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials, and other related products.
