HS Code 7410.22 – Copper; foil, backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing material, of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15mm, of copper alloys
HS code 7410.22 is the 6-digit subheading for copper, foil, backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing material, of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15mm, of copper alloys. It is used for brass foil with PET backing, bronze foil with paper backing, cupro-nickel foil with polyimide backing, alloy copper clad laminates and EMI shielding alloy foil.
What HS 7410.22 covers
This HS code covers copper alloy foil that is backed with materials such as paper, paperboard, or plastics, where the copper alloy layer's thickness does not exceed 0.15mm. The backing provides support, insulation, or facilitates processing, making these composite foils essential in various industrial applications. Countries with strong manufacturing bases in electronics, automotive, and specialized construction are primary importers, seeking materials for components requiring specific electrical, thermal, or mechanical properties. Exporters typically include nations with advanced metallurgical industries and sophisticated material lamination technologies. The specific alloy composition, the type of backing, and the overall composite structure are critical factors influencing trade, as they dictate performance in demanding environments like high-frequency circuits, flexible connectors, or heat dissipation systems.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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. 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).
