Product classification
HS code for Aluminum alloy bar: 7604.29
Aluminium, alloys, bars, rods and profiles, other than hollow.
Classification of aluminum alloy bar under HS 7604.29
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.

Codes often confused with 7604.29
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 760429 (the code used for aluminum alloy bar), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 760429 (the code used for aluminum alloy bar) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 10.0% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 15% 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).

Questions about aluminum alloy bar
What is the HS code for Aluminum alloy bar?
The HS code for Aluminum alloy bar is 760429 (Aluminium; alloys, bars, rods and profiles, other than hollow). The HS code for aluminum alloy bars, rods, and profiles that are solid (other than hollow) is 760429.
How do I classify Aluminum alloy bar for customs?
Aluminum alloy bar is classified under HS code 760429 — Aluminium; alloys, bars, rods and profiles, other than hollow. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
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.
Which countries are the top exporters of aluminum alloy bar (HS 760429)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 760429 (the code used for aluminum alloy bar) in UN Comtrade data were China ($1.4B, 10.0% of world exports), Türkiye ($1.2B) and Germany ($1.2B). World exports came to about $13.6B, 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.
Which countries are the top importers of aluminum alloy bar (HS 760429)?
In 2025, the top importers of HS 760429 (the code used for aluminum alloy bar) in UN Comtrade data were Germany ($1.9B, 15% of world imports), France ($875M) and the United States ($720M). World imports came to about $12.7B, 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.
Is the HS code for Aluminum alloy bar the same in all countries?
The base HS code 760429 for Aluminum alloy bar is internationally standardized for the first 6 digits across 200+ countries. Individual countries may add additional digits for national tariff lines and specific classifications.
What is the NCM code for aluminum alloy bar in Brazil?
Brazil splits HS 760429 into 3 NCM codes, so the right one for aluminum alloy bar depends on the product's details: 7604.29.11 (Forged round aluminium alloy bars, 400 to 760 mm), 7604.29.19 (Other aluminium alloy bars), 7604.29.20 (Non-hollow aluminium alloy profiles).
