HS code for Aluminum bar: 7604.10
Aluminium, (not alloyed), bars, rods and profiles.
Classification of aluminum bar under HS 7604.10
HS code 760410 is assigned to bars, rods, and profiles made from unalloyed aluminum. This classification is fundamentally based on two criteria: the material's purity and its physical form. "Unalloyed aluminum" refers to commercially pure aluminum, typically containing at least 99% aluminum by weight, with no intentional addition of other elements to significantly alter its properties. This distinguishes it from aluminum alloys, which are classified elsewhere. The forms "bars," "rods," and "profiles" denote solid, non-hollow products. Bars typically have rectangular or square cross-sections, rods are generally round, and profiles encompass a wider range of extruded shapes. The absence of alloying elements is the critical factor for inclusion in this specific code, ensuring that only pure aluminum in these solid forms is classified here.

Codes often confused with 7604.10
Common mistake. A common misclassification for aluminum bars occurs with HS code 760429, which covers bars, rods, and profiles made from aluminum alloys. The primary distinction is the material composition: 760410 is strictly for unalloyed aluminum, while 760429 is for alloyed aluminum. It is crucial to verify the presence or absence of alloying elements. Another point of confusion can be with HS code 760519, which classifies unalloyed aluminum wire with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 7mm or less. While also unalloyed, wire is generally much smaller in cross-section than products typically considered bars or rods, and its specific classification is based on this dimensional criterion.
Top exporters and importers of HS 760410 (the code used for aluminum bar), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 760410 (the code used for aluminum bar) in UN Comtrade data was Saudi Arabia, with 14% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the Netherlands, with 15% 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 that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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 bar
What is the HS code for Aluminum bar?
The HS code for Aluminum bar is 760410 (Aluminium; (not alloyed), bars, rods and profiles). The HS code for unalloyed aluminum bars, rods, and profiles is 760410. This code specifically applies to solid forms of commercially pure aluminum, without significant alloying elements.
How do I classify Aluminum bar for customs?
Aluminum bar is classified under HS code 760410 — Aluminium; (not alloyed), bars, rods and profiles. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
How is an aluminum bar distinguished from an aluminum rod in HS classification?
In the context of HS code 760410, "bars" typically refer to solid products with rectangular or square cross-sections, while "rods" generally denote solid products with round cross-sections. Both are solid forms of unalloyed aluminum. The classification focuses on the material (unalloyed aluminum) and the solid, non-hollow nature of the product, rather than a strict functional distinction between bar and rod.
Which countries are the top exporters of aluminum bar (HS 760410)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 760410 (the code used for aluminum bar) in UN Comtrade data were Saudi Arabia ($170M, 14% of world exports), Greece ($137M) and Spain ($123M). World exports came to about $1.2B, 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 bar (HS 760410)?
In 2025, the top importers of HS 760410 (the code used for aluminum bar) in UN Comtrade data were the Netherlands ($206M, 15% of world imports), Spain ($111M) and France ($90M). World imports came to about $1.4B, 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 bar the same in all countries?
The base HS code 760410 for Aluminum bar is internationally standardized for the first 6 digits across 200+ countries. Individual countries may add additional digits for national tariff lines and specific classifications.
What is the NCM code for aluminum bar in Brazil?
Brazil splits HS 760410 into 3 NCM codes, so the right one for aluminum bar depends on the product's details: 7604.10.10 (Unalloyed aluminium bars), 7604.10.21 (Hollow unalloyed aluminium profiles), 7604.10.29 (Non-hollow unalloyed aluminium profiles).
