According to news from Iran on November 1, Turkish customs data shows that in the first nine months of 2026, Turkey imported about 31,000 tons of copper cathodes from Iran, with an import value of 427 million US dollars, both of which reached record highs. In contrast, throughout 2025, Turkey imported about 163,000 tons of copper cathodes from Iran, with an import value of US$163.7 million. This means that the number of copper cathodes imported by Turkey from Iran in the first nine months of this year has reached about 1.9 times that of last year, and the import value has reached about 2.6 times that of last year, exceeding the full year level of last year by about 90% and 161%, respectively. The relevant data shows that Iran's copper cathode exports to Turkey have expanded significantly. Copper cathodes are high-purity copper products obtained through electrolytic refining, and are widely used in wires and cables, electrical equipment, and industrial manufacturing.
