Chapter 74: Copper and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7401 when importing or exporting copper mattes or cement copper, such as those found in mining byproducts. For instance, if you're shipping a bulk load of cement copper from a processing facility, this code applies.

The line 740100 specifically covers copper mattes and cement copper, which are often produced during the smelting process. If your product is a refined copper matte, ensure it meets the criteria for this classification.

When determining the correct HS-6 code, consider the form of your product. If it’s a raw product from mining operations, it fits under 740100. However, if it’s further processed or blended with other materials, you may need to explore other headings for accurate classification.
