HS Code for Aluminum alloy plate

HS code 760692 is designated for "Aluminium; plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, alloys, (not rectangular or square)." This classification applies to aluminum alloy products that are flat-rolled, have a thickness greater than 0.2mm, and are not in standard rectangular or square shapes. The "alloy" aspect is crucial, distinguishing it from pure aluminum products. The non-rectangular/non-square shape indicates further processing or specific end-use requirements, such as blanks for stamping or specialized architectural panels. This code ensures that aluminum alloy products with specific dimensions and non-standard geometries are correctly categorized for international trade.

Products Included

• Aluminum alloy plates cut into irregular shapes
• Aluminum alloy sheets with contoured edges
• Aluminum alloy blanks for automotive parts (non-rectangular)
• Aluminum alloy panels for aerospace applications (non-square)
• Perforated aluminum alloy sheets (if not rectangular/square overall)
• Aluminum alloy circles or discs exceeding 0.2mm thickness

Common Misclassification

Misclassification frequently occurs when distinguishing between aluminum alloy plates based on their shape or composition. A primary point of confusion is with HS code 760612, which covers "Aluminium; plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, alloys, rectangular or square." The shape is the critical differentiator; if the aluminum alloy plate is in a standard rectangular or square form, it falls under 760612. Another common error involves HS code 760691, which is for "Aluminium; plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, not alloys, (not rectangular or square)." Here, the presence of alloying elements is the key distinction. Furthermore, thinner aluminum products, such as those classified under 760719 (Aluminium foil, not backed, thickness not exceeding 0.2mm, other), are distinct due to the thickness criterion.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Aluminum alloy plate (non-rectangular/square)?

The HS code for aluminum alloy plates, sheets, and strip with a thickness exceeding 0.2mm and not in rectangular or square shapes is 760692. This code specifically addresses products with non-standard geometries.

What defines "not rectangular or square" in this HS code?

"Not rectangular or square" refers to plates, sheets, or strip that have been cut, stamped, or otherwise processed into shapes other than standard rectangles or squares. This includes circular blanks, irregular profiles, or pieces with cut-outs, provided they meet the thickness and alloy criteria. It signifies a product that has undergone some degree of shaping beyond basic flat rolling into standard dimensions.
