HS Code 7419.20 – Copper; cast, moulded, stamped or forged, but not further worked
HS code 7419.20 is the 6-digit subheading for copper, cast, moulded, stamped or forged, but not further worked. It is used for copper casting blanks, forged copper valve bodies, stamped copper electrical terminals (unfinished), moulded copper pipe fittings (rough) and copper ingots (for specific shapes).
What HS 7419.20 covers
This HS code pertains to copper articles that have undergone initial shaping processes such as casting, molding, stamping, or forging, but have not been further worked (e.g., machined, polished, assembled). These are essentially semi-finished products or raw forms that serve as crucial inputs for subsequent manufacturing stages. This category includes blanks, rough castings, and basic shapes that will eventually be transformed into finished copper products across various industries, including automotive, electrical, construction, and general engineering. Major importers are typically countries with advanced manufacturing capabilities that require these primary copper forms for their production lines, such as Germany, the United States, and Japan. Exporters often include nations with strong primary metal processing industries and access to raw copper, like China, Chile, and Russia. For traders, understanding the specific alloy composition, dimensions, and the intended final application is vital, as these factors dictate the quality and suitability of these semi-finished copper articles.

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).
