About HS Code 741011
This HS code covers unbacked foil made from refined copper, with a maximum thickness of 0.15mm. This material is highly prized in international trade for its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, and corrosion resistance, making it a critical component in advanced technological applications. Key importers and exporters include manufacturers in the electronics industry, particularly for printed circuit boards (PCBs), battery production (especially for lithium-ion batteries), electromagnetic shielding, and specialized architectural finishes. The purity of the refined copper is paramount, directly impacting its performance in sensitive applications. Global demand is driven by the rapid growth of electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy technologies.
Products Under This Code
Electrolytic copper foil, rolled copper foil, PCB copper foil, battery anode copper foil, shielding copper foil, decorative copper foil, transformer winding copper foil
Real World Examples
JX Nippon Mining & Metals copper foil, Mitsui Kinzoku copper foil, Fukuda Metal Foil & Powder copper foil, Circuit Foil copper foil
Common Misclassification
This code is distinct from copper foil that is backed (741021, 741022) or made of copper alloys (741012), as it specifies 'not backed' and 'of refined copper.'
Products Classified Under 7410.11
Industry
This code belongs to the Metals & Metal Products industry.
Trade Overview
China, South Korea, Japan, and Germany are major global hubs for the production and trade of refined copper foil.
