HSN 7414 — OMITTED

Copper and Articles Thereof

HSN code 7414 is the Indian customs classification for 'Copper and articles thereof,' specifically covering wire cloth (including endless bands), grill, netting, and expanded metal made from copper wire. This category is crucial for procurement teams dealing with components used in filtration, screening, reinforcement, and protective structures across various industries. Understanding HSN 7414 ensures accurate customs declarations, correct GST (18% typical) application, and compliance with import/export regulations. MetaleMart's catalog supports this by offering various copper wire grades that serve as base materials for these specialized copper fabrications. Accurate classification under 7414 is vital for smooth cross-border transactions and domestic trade in specialized copper products.

What HSN 7414 Covers

HSN 7414 specifically governs articles manufactured from copper wire, including woven wire cloth, endless bands for machinery, grills, and netting. It also encompasses expanded metal made from copper. This heading is distinct because it focuses on the configuration of the copper wire or expanded form, rather than the wire itself (which falls under 7411) or basic copper sheets (7409). Products classified under 7414 are typically used for screening, filtering, reinforcing, and protection. Inclusions:
  • Wire cloth made by weaving copper wires (e.g., fine mesh for filters).
  • Endless bands specifically designed for use in industrial machinery.
  • Grills and netting constructed from copper wire for various barrier applications.
  • Expanded metal produced from copper or copper alloy sheets/foils.
  • Wire gauze conforming to the definitions under this heading.
Exclusions:
  • Bare copper wire not formed into cloth, grill, netting, or expanded metal (HSN 7411).
  • Copper plates, sheets, strip, foil, or powders (Chapter 74, but specific headings apply).
  • Articles of copper classified elsewhere, such as nails, springs, electrical components, or cookware.
  • Finished goods where copper is only a minor component or plating.
The key differentiator for HSN 7414 is the form: woven, knitted, expanded, or barred structure made from copper wire or its derivatives.

Common Materials & Grades

  • Copper Wire Mesh (Woven): Made from various copper wire grades (e.g., C11000 ETP, C10100 OFC) in different mesh counts for filtration and screening applications under 7414.
  • Copper Grill/Netting: Fabricated from copper wires, often thicker gauges, used for protective barriers or decorative elements.
  • Expanded Copper Mesh: Produced by slitting and expanding copper sheets or plates, creating a diamond pattern used for reinforcement or EMI shielding. MetaleMart can supply copper sheets/plates as base material.
  • Endless Copper Bands: Continuous loops of copper wire cloth used in industrial machinery, particularly in processing or conveying systems.
  • Copper Wire Gauze: Finer mesh structures used in specialized filtering or sieving processes.

GST Rate (Indicative)

Products classified under HSN 7414 typically fall within the 18% GST slab. However, the exact rate may vary based on the specific product form (e.g., wire cloth vs. expanded metal) and any subsequent amendments by the CBIC. Buyers are advised to verify the applicable GST rate on the official CBIC portal.
