The first two digits of the HS Code starting with 76 mainly cover aluminum and its products.
Specifically, Chapter 76 mainly includes:
- 7601 Aluminum in the form of unwrought: Including aluminum ingots, aluminum blocks, aluminum rods, etc.
- 7602 Aluminum oxides: Aluminum oxide, commonly used in the production of refractory materials, abrasives, etc.
- 7603 Aluminum alloys: Various aluminum alloy materials.
- 7604 Aluminum semi-finished products: Aluminum sheets, aluminum foil, aluminum tubes, aluminum rods, aluminum profiles, etc.
- 7605 Aluminum products: Aluminum cookware, aluminum containers, aluminum structural parts, etc.
- 7606 Aluminum angles and profiles: Used in construction, industry, and other fields.
- 7607 Aluminum foil: Various thicknesses and uses of aluminum foil.
- 7608 Aluminum tubes and profiles: Used in various industrial applications.
- 7609 Aluminum containers: Various aluminum cans, aluminum drums, etc.
- 7610 Aluminum structural parts: Used in construction, transportation, and other fields.
- 7611 Aluminum window and door frames and structural parts: Used in the construction field.
- 7612 Aluminum wheels: Used in cars, bicycles, etc.
- 7613 Aluminum containers (for the transportation or packaging of goods): Various aluminum cans, aluminum drums, etc.
- 7614 Other aluminum products: Various other aluminum products.
Therefore, if the main component of the product is aluminum or it is mainly made of aluminum, it is usually classified into Chapter 76.
In summary, the HS Code starting with 76 is determined based on the material (aluminum) and main use of the product.
First four digits explanation:
HS Code: 7607
Classification description: Aluminum foil (whether printed or with paper, cardboard, plastic, or similar materials on the back), thickness (excluding any backing material) not exceeding 0.2 mm.
Six-digit explanation:
HS Code: 7607.11
Classification: Aluminum foil (whether printed or with paper, cardboard, plastic, or similar materials on the back), thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.2 mm
Specific meaning:
- Unbacked:
- Rolled but not further processed:
- Other
- Other
- Rolled but not further processed:
Eight to ten digits explanation:
HS Code: 7607119060
Classification: Aluminum foil (whether printed or attached to paper, cardboard, plastic, or similar materials), thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.2 mm: → Unbacked: → Rolled but not further processed: → Other → Aluminum can material: → Lid material
Explanation: This HS Code corresponds to unbacked, thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm, rolled but not further processed aluminum foil, specifically used for making the lid material of aluminum cans. The difference from 7607119030 (material for the body of aluminum cans) and 7607119090 (other) is that 7607119060 specifically refers to aluminum foil used for making the lid of aluminum cans.
Examples of products:
Aluminum can lid material
Aluminum foil used in food packaging
Aluminum foil used in pharmaceutical packaging
Aluminum foil used in industrial applications
Aluminum foil used in electrical insulation
Aluminum foil used in construction materials
* Aluminum foil used in decorative applications
Customer Reviews
This page was useful for understanding the classification of aluminum products. I just wish the search feature was a bit more robust.
The explanation of the first four digits, six digits, and eight to ten digits was really well structured and easy to follow.
I was able to find the right HS code for my aluminum can lid material thanks to the detailed description of 7607119060.
The information on Chapter 76 was helpful, but I wish there were more examples for industrial uses of aluminum products.
Great resource for understanding aluminum foil classifications. The detailed examples made it easier to apply the HS code to my product.
