Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 74 covers copper and articles of copper. India exports refined copper, copper alloys and a celebrated range of brass and copper handicrafts, notably from Moradabad — the Brass City. Subheadings move from unrefined and refined copper and alloys through wire, plate and tube to finished articles, fittings and household ware.
How to read this code
74 is the two-digit HS chapter for copper and articles thereof. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many base metals & articles lines — check our import guides for your market.
