U.S. imports of copper-bearing ash and residues (nesoi) (HS 262030) totaled $388K in April 2026, traded with 2 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Copper-bearing ashes and residues recovered from smelting, wire manufacturing, and electronic scrap processing are a key feedstock for secondary copper refiners. Two US tariff lines cover this heading: a general line (2620300000) and a copper-content-specific line (2620300010) used when the copper fraction is separately declared for valuation or statistical purposes. Canada leads supply, with Germany, Israel, Mexico, and Spain also serving as notable sources — a supplier mix that reflects both geographic proximity and the global distribution of copper fabrication industries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What industries generate the copper-bearing residues imported under this heading?

Primary sources include copper smelting and refining operations, wire and cable manufacturing, and electronic scrap processing. The residues retain enough copper content to be economically viable as secondary smelter feed.

Who are the primary foreign sources of copper-bearing ash and residues entering the US?

Canada is the leading supplier, followed by Germany, Israel, Mexico, and Spain. This spread reflects both proximity to US copper processors and the global footprint of copper fabrication industries that generate these byproducts.
