Copper; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, not electrically insulated

HS v2022 Code: 7413

About copper; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, not electrically insulated

HS code 7413 covers a range of copper products, including stranded wire, cables, and plaited bands, that are not electrically insulated. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from construction and infrastructure to telecommunications and electrical engineering. As a key component in the global supply chain, the copper wire and cable industry contributes significantly to the broader economy, facilitating the flow of goods, services, and information across international borders.

Production process

The production of copper wire and cable involves several key steps. First, copper is extracted from ore and refined to the desired purity. The copper is then drawn into wire or extruded into various shapes and sizes. For stranded wire and cables, the individual wires are twisted or braided together to form the final product. Plaited bands are created by weaving or plaiting multiple copper strands. Throughout the production process, quality control measures are implemented to ensure the products meet industry standards and specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of copper wire, cables, and plaited bands include raw copper, as well as various machinery and equipment used in the drawing, twisting, and braiding processes. Specialized tools and dies are also necessary to shape the copper into the desired forms. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy, engineering, and manufacturing techniques.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 7413 are copper wire, cables, and plaited bands, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of industries. These products are commonly used in 8544 Electric conductors, insulated; optical fiber cables, 8517 Electrical apparatus for line telephony or line telegraphy, and 8536 Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, among others. The versatility of copper wire and cable makes them essential components in the construction, telecommunications, and electrical equipment sectors.
