HS Code 7604.29 – Aluminium; alloys, bars, rods and profiles, other than hollow
HS code 7604.29 is the 6-digit subheading for aluminium, alloys, bars, rods and profiles, other than hollow. It is used for aluminium alloy solid round bars, aluminium alloy flat bars, aluminium alloy square rods, aluminium alloy angle profiles and aluminium alloy T-sections.
What HS 7604.29 covers
This HS code pertains to non-hollow bars, rods, and profiles made from aluminium alloys. These products are essential in global trade for their superior mechanical properties compared to unalloyed aluminium, offering enhanced strength, hardness, and machinability. They serve as critical components in a wide array of industries, from precision engineering to heavy machinery. Major importing nations, such as the United States, Germany, and South Korea, rely on these alloyed forms for their manufacturing prowess, incorporating them into automotive parts, industrial equipment, and consumer goods. Exporters are typically countries with robust primary aluminium production and advanced extrusion capabilities, including China, Canada, and the UAE. Key trade considerations involve the specific alloy series (e.g., 2xxx, 5xxx, 7xxx), temper, and surface finish, which dictate their suitability for various demanding applications. The market is driven by industries requiring high-performance, lightweight, and durable metal components.

Codes often confused with 7604.29
Common mistake. This code is frequently confused with 760421 (hollow alloyed profiles) and 760410 (unalloyed bars/rods/profiles). The distinction lies in both the alloy content and whether the profile is solid or hollow.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 760429, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 760429 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 10.0% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 15% 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 that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
