HS-4 · Heading

7410 — Copper foil (whether or not printed or backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials) of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15mm

Chapter 74: Copper and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7410 when importing copper foil that is no thicker than 0.15mm. For example, if you're shipping a roll of refined copper foil for use in electronics, this is the correct classification. The thickness is critical, as it determines the appropriate subheading.

When deciding between the HS-6 lines under this heading, consider whether your copper foil is backed or not. HS-6 741011 and 741012 cover unbacked foil, while 741021 and 741022 apply to foil that has a backing of paper, plastics, or similar materials. This distinction is essential for proper tariff application.

If your product is refined copper foil without any backing, choose HS-6 741011. However, if it is an alloy, then HS-6 741012 is the right choice. The same logic applies to backed foils: use HS-6 741021 for refined copper and HS-6 741022 for copper alloys.
