HS Code 7606.11 – Aluminium; plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, (not alloyed), rectangular (including square)
HS code 7606.11 is the 6-digit subheading for aluminium, plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, (not alloyed), rectangular (including square). It is used for aluminium plain sheets, aluminium roofing sheets, aluminium heat exchanger plates, aluminium electrical busbar sheets and aluminium foil stock (thick).
What HS 7606.11 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 7606.11
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 760612 (alloyed rectangular plates/sheets/strip) if the unalloyed nature is not confirmed, and with 760711 (unalloyed aluminium foil) if the thickness threshold is not carefully observed.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 760611, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 760611 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 32% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 10% 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).
