About HS Code 740319
HS 740319 is the residual category for refined, unwrought copper not specifically covered by cathodes, wire-bars, or billets. This code captures other forms of high-purity copper that are still in their primary, unworked state, such as ingots of non-standard shapes, shot, granules, or powder. These miscellaneous forms are often used in specialized applications, including alloying, powder metallurgy, or as feedstock for specific casting processes where standard shapes are not suitable. The trade in these 'other' forms of refined unwrought copper is typically more fragmented and driven by niche industrial demands. Importers might be specialized foundries, chemical producers, or manufacturers requiring specific copper forms for advanced materials, with exporters being refiners or processors capable of producing these less common shapes.
Products Under This Code
Refined copper ingots (other shapes), copper shot, copper granules, copper powder (unwrought), copper cakes (non-standard)
Real World Examples
Boliden refined copper ingots (non-standard), custom-cast copper shapes, copper shot for alloying
Common Misclassification
This code is for refined unwrought copper that doesn't fit 740311, 740312, or 740313; it should not be confused with unrefined copper (740200) or copper waste and scrap (740400).
Products Classified Under 7403.19
Industry
This code belongs to the Metals & Metal Products industry.
Trade Overview
Trade in these miscellaneous forms is more fragmented, with various industrial nations importing for specialized applications and diverse sources.
