HS Code for Aluminum alloy ingot

Aluminum alloy ingots are classified under HS code 760120. This classification is specifically designated for "unwrought" aluminium that consists of "alloys." Unwrought refers to aluminum in its raw, unworked state, typically cast into forms such as ingots, billets, or slabs, which are intended for further processing like rolling, extruding, or drawing. The inclusion of "alloys" signifies that the aluminum contains other metallic elements to enhance its properties, distinguishing it from pure, non-alloyed aluminum. This code is fundamental for identifying primary aluminum alloy materials before they undergo significant shaping or fabrication into semi-finished or finished products.

Products Included

• Aluminum alloy ingots
• Aluminum alloy billets
• Aluminum alloy slabs
• Aluminum alloy pigs
• Remelt ingots of aluminum alloys

Common Misclassification

Common misclassifications for aluminum alloy ingots often involve non-alloy aluminum or wrought aluminum products. HS code 760110 covers unwrought, non-alloy aluminum, where the key distinction is the absence of alloying elements. Products that have undergone significant working, such as bars, rods, or profiles (e.g., HS 7604), or plates, sheets, and strip (e.g., HS 7606), are considered "wrought" and are therefore excluded from 760120. The critical differentiator for 760120 is its "unwrought" nature and its composition as an "alloy," signifying it as a primary raw material for subsequent manufacturing processes.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Aluminum alloy ingot?

The HS code for aluminum alloy ingots, which are unwrought forms of aluminum alloys, is 760120.

What does 'unwrought' signify in the context of HS 7601?

'Unwrought' in HS 7601 signifies aluminum in its raw, unworked state. This typically includes primary forms such as ingots, billets, slabs, or pigs, which are produced directly from smelting or remelting and are intended for further processing into semi-finished or finished products, rather than being end-use items themselves.
