Product classification
HS code for Aluminum alloy strip: 7606.92
Aluminium, plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, alloys, (not rectangular or square).
Classification of aluminum alloy strip under HS 7606.92
Aluminum alloy strip classified under HS code 7606.92 is a wrought product typically produced through rolling processes. To meet the criteria for this specific code, the strip must have a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm and must be composed of an aluminum alloy. The term strip generally refers to a flat-rolled product that is narrower than a sheet, often supplied in coils. However, for HS classification purposes, strips are treated similarly to plates and sheets. The 92 subheading indicates that the product is not rectangular or square in shape. This can apply to strips that have been further processed, such as those with non-parallel edges, or strips that have been cut into specific non-rectangular profiles for industrial use. The classification process involves verifying the chemical composition to confirm it meets the definition of an alloy as per the Chapter 76 notes. This usually involves checking for the presence of elements like manganese, magnesium, or silicon. The precision of this classification is vital for manufacturers in the automotive and construction sectors who rely on specialized alloy strips for structural components and decorative trim, as it affects both the duty rates and the regulatory requirements for the imported material.

Codes often confused with 7606.92
Common mistake. HS code 7606.12 is the most common error, as it covers rectangular alloy strips. If the strip is 0.2 mm or thinner, it is classified as aluminum foil under 7607.19. Pure aluminum strips (non-alloy) are classified under 7606.91.
Top exporters and importers of HS 760692 (the code used for aluminum alloy strip), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 760692 (the code used for aluminum alloy strip) 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. 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).
