Chapter 74: Copper and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 741022 when importing or exporting copper foil that is backed with materials like paper or plastics and has a thickness not exceeding 0.15mm. For example, if you're shipping copper foil used in electronics, this code applies.
This code specifically covers copper foil that is reinforced with backing materials, distinguishing it from unbacked copper foil, which falls under a different classification. If your product is simply copper foil without any backing, you would need to look at HS-6 741021 instead.
Copper foil classified under this HS-6 is typically used in applications such as circuit boards, capacitors, and other electronic components. The backing material enhances its usability for these specific applications, making it a crucial component in manufacturing.
When considering this code, keep in mind that the thickness must not exceed 0.15mm, which is a key factor in determining the correct classification. If your product exceeds this thickness, it may fall under a different HS-6 classification.
