Classification of aluminum cookware under HS 7615.10
Aluminum cookware is classified under HS code 7615.10. This classification is located within Chapter 76 of the Harmonized System, which is dedicated to "Aluminum and articles thereof." Heading 7615 specifically covers "Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof; pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like, of aluminum." The subheading 7615.10 further refines this to include "Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof." This classification is determined by the material (aluminum) and its function as an article commonly used in a household setting, particularly for cooking and food preparation. This includes a wide range of items from pots and pans to baking sheets and other kitchen utensils made predominantly of aluminum, designed for domestic use.

Codes often confused with 7615.10
Common mistake. Common misclassifications for aluminum cookware often arise from confusion with other aluminum articles or articles of similar function made from different materials. One potential misclassification is 7616.99 (Other articles of aluminium, not elsewhere specified or included). This is a residual category for aluminum articles that do not fit more specific headings. However, since 7615.10 explicitly covers aluminum table, kitchen, or other household articles, using 7616.99 for cookware would be incorrect. Another area of confusion might be with 7323.91 (Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of cast iron, not enamelled) or other headings in Chapter 73 for iron or steel articles. The key differentiator for 7615.10 is the material composition, which must be predominantly aluminum. Additionally, industrial or commercial-grade aluminum cooking equipment, which might be larger or more specialized than typical household items, could potentially fall under different headings, such as those for machinery or appliances, if they incorporate mechanical or electrical components beyond simple cookware.

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).
