HS code for Aluminum alloy ingot: 7601.20
Aluminium, unwrought, alloys.
Classification of aluminum alloy ingot under HS 7601.20
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.

Codes often confused with 7601.20
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 760120 (the code used for aluminum alloy ingot), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 760120 (the code used for aluminum alloy ingot) in UN Comtrade data was the United Arab Emirates, with about 13% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 12% 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 marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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 ingot
What is the HS code for Aluminum alloy ingot?
The HS code for Aluminum alloy ingot is 760120 (Aluminium; unwrought, alloys). The HS code for aluminum alloy ingots, which are unwrought forms of aluminum alloys, is 760120.
How do I classify Aluminum alloy ingot for customs?
Aluminum alloy ingot is classified under HS code 760120 — Aluminium; unwrought, alloys. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
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.
Which countries are the top exporters of aluminum alloy ingot (HS 760120)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 760120 (the code used for aluminum alloy ingot) in UN Comtrade data were the United Arab Emirates (about $5.3B, 13% of world exports), Norway ($3.9B) and Bahrain (about $3.0B). World exports came to about $39.7B, 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.
Which countries are the top importers of aluminum alloy ingot (HS 760120)?
In 2025, the top importers of HS 760120 (the code used for aluminum alloy ingot) in UN Comtrade data were the United States ($4.9B, 12% of world imports), Germany ($4.4B) and Japan ($2.8B). World imports came to about $40.5B, 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 ingot the same in all countries?
