HS Code for Aluminum alloy bar

Aluminum alloy bars are classified under HS code 760429. This classification specifically covers products made from aluminium alloys, which are in the form of bars, rods, and profiles, and are explicitly "other than hollow." The "29" suffix indicates that these are "other" aluminum alloys, not specifically detailed in other subheadings within 7604. The key elements for this classification are the material (aluminum alloy), the form (solid bars, rods, or profiles), and the exclusion of hollow forms. This code is designed for semi-finished or finished solid products that have been wrought from aluminum alloys, distinguishing them from unwrought forms or hollow profiles.

Products Included

• Solid aluminum alloy bars (round, square, hexagonal)
• Aluminum alloy rods for machining
• Solid aluminum alloy profiles for structural applications
• Extruded solid aluminum alloy shapes

Common Misclassification

Common misclassifications for aluminum alloy bars include unwrought aluminum and hollow profiles. HS code 760120 covers unwrought aluminum alloys (e.g., ingots, billets), which are raw materials, whereas 760429 refers to wrought, shaped products. HS code 760421 specifically covers hollow profiles of aluminum alloys, which are distinct from the "other than hollow" requirement of 760429. Additionally, non-alloy aluminum bars would fall under HS 760410. The critical distinction for 760429 is the combination of being an aluminum alloy, a solid (non-hollow) bar, rod, or profile, and not being specifically classified elsewhere within the 7604 subheadings for specific alloy types.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Aluminum alloy bar?

The HS code for aluminum alloy bars, rods, and profiles that are solid (other than hollow) is 760429.

What is the distinction between bars, rods, and profiles in HS 7604?

In the context of HS 7604, bars and rods generally refer to solid products of uniform cross-section, typically round, square, or hexagonal. Profiles, on the other hand, can encompass a wider range of solid shapes, often with more complex or non-uniform cross-sections, designed for specific structural or functional purposes. The unifying factor for 760429 is that all these forms must be solid and made from aluminum alloys.
