HS Code 7606.91 – Aluminium; plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, not alloyed, (not rectangular or square)
HS code 7606.91 is the 6-digit subheading for aluminium, plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, not alloyed, (not rectangular or square). It is used for non-alloyed aluminium blanks, custom-shaped aluminium sheets, aluminium coil stock (non-rectangular), aluminium plate cut-outs and irregular aluminium strip.
What HS 7606.91 covers
This HS code covers non-alloyed aluminium plates, sheets, and strip, exceeding 0.2mm in thickness, that are not rectangular or square. These are fundamental semi-finished products in the global aluminium trade, crucial for industries requiring specific shapes or custom fabrication. Importers typically include manufacturers in the automotive, aerospace, construction, and marine sectors, where lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials are essential for structural components or specialized parts. Exporters are often primary aluminium producers or rolling mills in countries with significant bauxite reserves or advanced processing capabilities. Key things to know involve the material's formability, weldability, and surface finish requirements, as these dictate its suitability for various applications. The trade in these goods is influenced by global commodity prices, energy costs for production, and demand from downstream manufacturing. Buyers often look for specific temper designations and certifications to ensure material quality and compliance with industry standards.

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).
