HS Code 76.15 – Aluminium; table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like, sanitary ware and parts thereof

HS code 7615 is a 4-digit heading in the Harmonized System that covers: Aluminium; table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like, sanitary ware and parts thereof. Heading 7615 is a broad classification covering aluminium table, kitchen, or other household articles and their parts, along with pot scourers, scouring or polishing pads, gloves, and sanitary ware and parts thereof. This heading encompasses a vast array of everyday consumer goods found in homes, leveraging aluminium's properties such as lightness, corrosion resistance, and excellent heat conductivity for cookware. The scope includes everything from frying pans and saucepans to decorative bowls, kitchen utensils, and bathroom fixtures like towel rails and soap dishes. Crucially, this heading is for non-electric articles; electric versions of similar items would typically fall under Chapter 85. For trade compliance, it's essential to distinguish between household-grade articles and industrial components, which would generally fall under 7616. This classification highlights the extensive use of aluminium in consumer products, reflecting its adaptability and aesthetic appeal. As a significant part of Chapter 76, it represents the finished consumer end-use of aluminium, contrasting with raw materials or industrial components.

Aluminium frying pans, saucepans, baking trays, pressure cookers (non-electric), kettles (non-electric), aluminium cutlery (parts of), kitchen utensils (ladles, spatulas), manual coffee makers, aluminium food storage containers, decorative aluminium bowls, serving trays, aluminium foil dispensers, aluminium pot scourers, aluminium polishing pads, aluminium bathroom shelves, soap dishes (aluminium), aluminium towel rails, toilet paper holders (aluminium), household waste bins (aluminium), garden watering cans (aluminium), aluminium clothes hangers, measuring cups (aluminium), manual pasta makers (aluminium), aluminium picnic sets, portable grills (non-electric, aluminium), aluminium griddles, aluminium colanders, aluminium bottle openers, aluminium trivets, aluminium dish racks, aluminium bread bins, aluminium napkin rings.

Common errors for 7615 include classifying electric versions of these articles (e.g., electric kettles, electric coffee makers) under this heading; these properly belong in Chapter 85. Another mistake is classifying composite articles where aluminium is not the predominant material, or industrial-grade aluminium articles which would typically fall under 7616. Pot scourers could be confused with steel wool (Chapter 73). The key is the 'household' context and the 'non-electric' nature, combined with aluminium being the primary material. Always verify the function, material composition, and power source.

In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 7615 in UN Comtrade data were China ($3.9B, 58% of world exports), Italy ($441M) and France ($342M). World exports came to about $6.8B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

In 2025, the top importers of HS code 7615 in UN Comtrade data were the United States ($1.1B, 18% of world imports), Germany ($438M) and Japan ($377M). World imports came to about $6.2B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
