About HS Code 760611
This HS code covers unalloyed aluminium plates, sheets, and strip, with a thickness exceeding 0.2mm, in rectangular or square forms. These semi-finished products are fundamental to a vast array of industries globally, valued for their excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and high electrical and thermal conductivity. They are a cornerstone for manufacturing in sectors ranging from construction to packaging. Major importers include countries with significant manufacturing and fabrication industries, such as the United States, Germany, and Mexico, which transform these materials into finished goods. Exporters often originate from nations with large primary aluminium production and rolling mill capacities, like China, Russia, and Canada. Key trade considerations include the specific temper (e.g., O, H14, H18), surface finish, and dimensional tolerances, which are critical for downstream processing and end-use performance. The demand is driven by applications requiring pure aluminium's specific properties, such as heat exchangers, electrical components, and certain food packaging.
Products Under This Code
