Product classification
HS code for Aluminum alloy sheet: 7606.92
Aluminium, plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, alloys, (not rectangular or square).
Classification of aluminum alloy sheet under HS 7606.92
Aluminum alloy sheets classified under HS code 7606.92 are defined by three primary criteria: material composition, thickness, and geometric shape. According to the Harmonized System's Chapter 76, aluminum products are categorized based on whether they are unwrought or wrought. Sheets and plates fall under the wrought category. For a product to be classified under 7606.92, it must first be an aluminum alloy. An alloy is defined in the HS notes as a metallic substance in which aluminum predominates by weight over each of the other elements, provided the total content of such other elements exceeds 1% or the content of at least one other element exceeds the limits specified in the chapter notes. Secondly, the thickness must exceed 0.2 mm. If the material is 0.2 mm or thinner, it is classified as foil under heading 7607. Finally, the subheading 7606.92 specifically excludes products that are rectangular or square. This means the sheets must have been cut into shapes such as circles, triangles, or other polygons, or they may have worked edges that deviate from a standard flat rectangle. This classification is crucial for customs because different shapes often imply different industrial applications, such as blanks for automotive parts or specialized roofing components.

Codes often confused with 7606.92
Common mistake. This product is often confused with HS code 7606.12, which covers rectangular or square alloy sheets. If the sheet is thinner than 0.2 mm, it must be classified under 7607 as aluminum foil. Additionally, if the sheet is made of pure aluminum rather than an alloy, it falls under 7606.91.
Top exporters and importers of HS 760692 (the code used for aluminum alloy sheet), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 760692 (the code used for aluminum alloy sheet) in UN Comtrade data was Saudi Arabia, with 26% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was India, with 12% of world imports.

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).
