HS Code 7601.10 – Aluminium; unwrought, (not alloyed)
HS code 7601.10 is the 6-digit subheading for aluminium, unwrought, (not alloyed). It is used for aluminium ingots (P1020), aluminium billets, aluminium slabs, aluminium T-bars and aluminium sows.
What HS 7601.10 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 7601.10
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 760110, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 760110 in UN Comtrade data was Russia, with about 19% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 16% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
