Trade overview
Zambia, assigned USCS code 7940, is a major copper and cobalt producer whose mineral exports are strategically important to US battery, electronics, and electrical manufacturing supply chains. Copper cathodes and cobalt compounds from Zambia are classified under base-metals chapters of the HTS, and trade professionals should monitor any applicable trade-remedy measures that could affect duty treatment. Zambia also exports tobacco and cut flowers, the latter subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection at US ports of entry.
