Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS Code starting with 76 mainly cover aluminum and its products.

Specifically, Chapter 76 includes:

• 7601: Unalloyed aluminum (including aluminum powder)
• 7602: Aluminum oxides
• 7603: Aluminum hydroxides
• 7604: Aluminum waste and scrap
• 7605: Aluminum products (including waste)

Reason for classification:

Chapter 76 was established to classify aluminum and its products separately, as aluminum is an important industrial raw material widely used in various fields, such as:

• Aerospace: Aluminum alloys are widely used due to their lightweight and high strength.
• Packaging: Aluminum foil, aluminum cans, etc.
• Construction: Aluminum profiles, aluminum sheets, etc.
• Transportation: Cars, trains, ships, etc.
• Electronics: Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, etc.

Therefore, classifying aluminum and its products separately helps customs with statistics, tariff collection, and trade management.

If you can provide a more specific HS Code (e.g., 7601.10.10), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.
