Product classification

What does HS 740990 include?

HS 740990 covers Copper: plates, sheets and strip, of a thickness exceeding 0.15mm, of copper alloys (other than copper-zinc base alloys, copper-tin base alloys, copper-nickel base alloys or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys). This page studies the six-digit Harmonized System classification rather than a company, brand, retail category, or individual shipment.

The classification sits in HS chapter 74 and heading 7409. The recorded trade type is two-way vertical trade, with a medium price range classification in the available product reference data.

How to interpret this page

Compare demand, position, and history together

This HS 740990 trade opportunity page brings together the buyer market in MEX (MEX), the exporter position of China (CHN), and the observed conditions of their trade lane. A large buyer market does not by itself show that every exporter has equal access, and a positive growth rate does not remove the need to examine volatility and historical coverage.

Use the reported imports and exports to understand scale, market share to understand position, projections to understand the calculated forward view, and lane history to understand how much evidence supports the comparison.
