What HS code 7401 covers
The Harmonized System, or HS, is a shared way to name goods that cross borders. Customs offices use these numbers for tariff classification. Indian traders often say HSN code 7401, but it is the same number.
Copper matte is a rough, early product made when copper ore is smelted. Cement copper is copper that drops out of a liquid as a fine powder or sludge. That is why the official text also calls it precipitated copper. Both are raw feed for later refining.
The first two digits of any code in it tell you the goods are copper based.
7401 vs 7402, 7403 and 7404: choosing the right copper heading
The copper headings are split by the form of the goods. Pick the heading whose words match your product. These are the closest neighbours of 7401:
- 7401: copper mattes and cement copper, the rough starting point
- 7402: unrefined copper, and copper anodes for electrolytic refining
- 7403: refined copper and copper alloys, unwrought
- 7404: copper waste and scrap
- 7405: copper master alloys
How to check your goods before you pick a code
Start with the product name on your invoice or test sheet. If it says copper matte, cement copper or precipitated copper, test heading 7401 first.
If the goods are anodes made for electrolytic refining, or other unrefined copper, look at 7402 instead. That is the main difference between HS 7401 and 7402. One covers matte and precipitate. The other covers unrefined copper and anodes.
Waste and scrap go to 7404. Master alloys go to 7405.
Final classification depends on the exact goods and on the rules of the importing country. If you are unsure, ask a customs broker or try the HS code classifier.
Other headings in Chapter 74
Copper trade does not stop at the raw forms. The chapter moves on to finished articles, such as wire in 7408, tubes and pipes in 7411, and household articles in 7418. Open the chapter page to browse them all. Or take the next step along the copper chain with unrefined copper and anodes in 7402.

A general guide cannot tell you who buys and sells these goods. You need customs shipment records for that. A ranked list would also be out of date with the next filing, so search the live records instead.
