Trade
Copper and copper based products are commodities or goods that are traded
amongst nations. National custom authorities use the Harmonized
System Trade Codes in reporting quantities and values of
goods traded between countries. The table provides the classification
structure, with headings and subheadings, for copper and copper products,
as used by the ICSG.
Description
of Copper Based Products
Part of laying out the foundation to improve statistics and increase
market transparency is to agree to a common set of definitions when
describing or referring to products. Through the efforts of a select
Working Group of government and industry experts, the ICSG has developed
a set of definitions and descriptions
for certain copper based products.
