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

HS v2022 Code: 741022

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

HS code 741022 covers copper foil, backed with paper, paperboard, plastics, or similar materials, with a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15mm. This copper alloy product is widely used in various industries, including electronics, telecommunications, and construction, due to its unique properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability. The global copper foil market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for advanced electronic devices and the need for sustainable building materials.

Production process

The production of copper foil covered under HS code 741022 typically involves a multi-step process. First, copper alloy ingots or sheets are rolled or cast into thin foils. The foils are then laminated or coated with a backing material, such as paper, paperboard, or plastic, to provide additional strength and stability. The thickness of the final product is carefully controlled to ensure it meets the 0.15mm maximum requirement specified in the code.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 741022 copper foil include copper alloy raw materials, such as copper, zinc, and other alloying elements. Additionally, the production process requires specialized rolling or casting equipment, as well as the backing materials (paper, paperboard, plastics, etc.). Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 741022 is copper foil with a backing material, which is used in a wide range of applications. This copper foil is often consumed by industries producing 854411 Winding wire for electrical equipment, 854420 Coaxial cable and other coaxial electric conductors for telecommunications, and 680800 Panels, boards, tiles, blocks and similar articles of vegetable fiber, of straw or of shavings, chips, particles, sawdust or other waste, of wood, agglomerated with cement, plaster or other mineral binders for construction materials.
