HS Code 7410.11 – Copper; foil, not backed, of a thickness not exceeding 0.15mm, of refined copper

HS code 7410.11 is the 6-digit subheading for copper, foil, not backed, of a thickness not exceeding 0.15mm, of refined copper. It is used for electrolytic copper foil, rolled copper foil, PCB copper foil, battery anode copper foil and shielding copper foil.

What HS 7410.11 covers

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.

Codes often confused with 7410.11

Common mistake. 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.'

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
