About HS Code 760110
This HS code covers unwrought, non-alloyed aluminium, representing primary aluminium in its rawest form, typically ingots, billets, or slabs, before it's alloyed or further processed. This commodity is fundamental to global manufacturing, serving as the base material for a vast array of products. Major importers are countries with significant aluminium processing and manufacturing industries, such as automotive, construction, packaging, and electronics, which rely on a steady supply of pure aluminium for their production lines. Exporters are typically nations with abundant bauxite reserves, large-scale smelting operations, and access to affordable energy, like Canada, Russia, and countries in the Middle East. Key trade considerations include purity levels (e.g., 99.7% or 99.8% aluminium), form (ingot, sow, T-bar), and adherence to international standards like ASTM B85. The global market is highly sensitive to energy prices, environmental regulations, and geopolitical factors, given the energy-intensive nature of primary aluminium production.
Products Under This Code
Aluminium ingots (P1020), Aluminium billets, Aluminium slabs, Aluminium T-bars, Aluminium sows, Primary aluminium blocks, High-purity aluminium ingots
Real World Examples
Alcoa, Rio Tinto Alcan, Rusal, Hydro Aluminium, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), Chalco
Common Misclassification
This code is often confused with 760120 (unwrought aluminium alloys) due to similar forms, but the critical distinction is the absence of alloying elements. It can also be mistaken for 760200 (aluminium waste and scrap) if the material is not clearly new primary metal.
EU Regulatory Requirements
This product falls under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Importers to the EU must declare embedded carbon emissions and purchase CBAM certificates.
Products Classified Under 7601.10
Industry
This code belongs to the Metals & Metal Products industry.
Trade Overview
China, USA, Germany, and Japan are among the top importing countries for unwrought non-alloyed aluminium.
