Heading 7410

Copper foil (whether or not printed or backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials) of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15 mm

8 declarable lines

Heading 7410 covers copper foil of a thickness not exceeding 0.15 mm, excluding any backing. It is split first by whether the foil is backed, then by refined copper versus copper alloys, with separate lines for copper clad laminates.

Products in this heading

Refined copper foil not backed, for electronics or shielding
Brass foil not backed
Other copper alloy foil not backed
Copper clad laminate with copper on one side only, plastics impregnated glass base
Copper clad laminate with copper on both sides, plastics impregnated glass base
Other copper clad laminate
Backed refined copper foil, other than copper clad laminate
Backed copper alloy foil

How to choose the right subheading

Check the foil thickness without backing: heading 7410 requires 0.15 mm or less.
Decide whether the foil is not backed or backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing.
For not backed foil, choose refined copper or copper alloys; for alloys, split brass from other alloys.
For backed refined copper, decide if it is a copper clad laminate.
For copper clad laminates, check whether the base is wholly plastics impregnated glass and whether copper is on one side or both sides.

Often confused with

Copper plate, sheet or strip over 0.15 mm thick
Heading 7410 is limited to foil 0.15 mm or less excluding backing.
Heading 7409
Copper wire
Wire is classified by heading 7408, not as foil.
Heading 7408
Copper tubes and pipes
Tubular copper products are outside foil.
Heading 7411
Copper powders and flakes
Powder and flake are separate from solid foil.
Heading 7406
Etched printed circuit boards
Once circuitry is formed, the board is generally a printed circuit, not raw copper clad laminate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the HTS code for refined copper foil not backed?

Use 7410.11.00.00 for not backed foil of refined copper; the general (MFN) rate is 1%.

What is the duty on backed copper foil of copper alloys?

Backed copper alloy foil is 7410.22.00.00; the general (MFN) rate is 1.5%.

How do I classify copper clad laminate with copper on both sides?

If the base is wholly plastics impregnated glass and copper is on both sides, use 7410.21.30.40; the general (MFN) rate is 3%. Other backed refined copper foil uses 7410.21.60.00 at 1.5%.
