Continuous Cast Copper Billets for Rod Extrusion from China
Continuous cast refined copper billets, typically 200-300mm diameter, are designed for hot extrusion into copper rods for subsequent drawing into wire. HTS 7403.13.00.00 covers these unwrought refined copper billets. Produced via horizontal continuous casting for uniform microstructure.

Import Tips
• Provide casting method certification (continuous vs. static) as static castings may face different quality scrutiny
• Declare billet end-use as 'wire rod production' to support refined copper classification over scrap
• Comply with REACH for trace elements; European origin billets need RoHS declarations
