HS Code for Aluminum alloy wire

HS code 760529 is designated for wire manufactured from aluminum alloys, with a specific dimensional constraint: the maximum cross-sectional dimension must be 7mm or less. The classification hinges on two critical attributes: the material being an aluminum alloy and the product form being "wire" within the specified size limit. Aluminum alloys are utilized to impart enhanced mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, or corrosion resistance compared to unalloyed aluminum. "Wire" typically refers to a drawn product of solid cross-section, characterized by its relatively small and uniform diameter or dimension along its length. The 7mm maximum cross-sectional dimension is a definitive criterion, distinguishing these products from larger bars, rods, or profiles, ensuring precise categorization based on both material composition and physical dimensions.

Products Included

• Aluminum alloy welding wire
• Electrical conductor wire (uninsulated, alloyed, ≤7mm)
• Aluminum alloy rivet wire
• Fine aluminum alloy wire for various applications
• Drawn aluminum alloy wire for fasteners
• Aluminum alloy wire for mesh and screens
• Alloyed aluminum wire for cold heading applications

Common Misclassification

A frequent misclassification involves HS code 760519, which covers wire of unalloyed aluminum, also with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 7mm or less. The key differentiator is the material composition: 760519 is for pure aluminum wire, while 760529 is specifically for aluminum alloy wire. Another potential confusion arises with HS code 760429, which classifies bars, rods, and profiles of aluminum alloys. While these are also solid forms of alloyed aluminum, they typically exceed the 7mm cross-sectional dimension or have different profile shapes, distinguishing them from wire. Additionally, uninsulated stranded aluminum cables (e.g., 761490) are distinct as they consist of multiple strands, not a single wire.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Aluminum alloy wire?

The HS code for aluminum alloy wire with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 7mm or less is 760529. This code is specific to wire products made from aluminum that contains alloying elements.

Does the diameter limit apply to all aluminum alloy wire under this code?

Yes, for HS code 760529, the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the aluminum alloy wire must be 7mm or less. If the wire exceeds this dimension, it would typically be classified under other codes, such as those for bars, rods, or profiles (e.g., 760429), depending on its specific characteristics.
