Product classification
HS code for Aluminum ingot: 7601.10
Aluminium, unwrought, (not alloyed).
Classification of aluminum ingot under HS 7601.10
HS code 760110 specifically covers "Aluminium; unwrought, (not alloyed)". Aluminum ingots, particularly those made from non-alloyed aluminum, represent the primary form of unwrought aluminum. "Unwrought" signifies that the metal has not been worked beyond casting, such as rolling, drawing, or extruding. Ingots are typically cast into a shape suitable for further processing. The "not alloyed" distinction is crucial for this specific subheading, separating it from aluminum containing significant alloying elements.

Codes often confused with 7601.10
Common mistake. 760120 (Aluminium; unwrought, alloys): This code is for unwrought aluminum that *is* alloyed. Misclassification occurs if the presence or absence of alloying elements is not accurately determined, as this is the primary distinction between 760110 and 760120. 7604 (Aluminium bars, rods and profiles): This chapter covers wrought aluminum products, meaning they have undergone mechanical working. Ingots are unwrought. Confusion arises if the distinction between unwrought (cast) and wrought (mechanically worked) forms is not clear. 760200 (Aluminium waste and scrap): While ingots can be made from scrap, the ingot itself is a refined, unwrought product intended for further manufacturing, not waste or scrap.
Top exporters and importers of HS 760110 (the code used for aluminum ingot), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 760110 (the code used for aluminum ingot) in UN Comtrade data was Russia, with about 19% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 16% 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).

Questions about aluminum ingot
What is the HS code for Aluminum ingot?
The HS code for Aluminum ingot is 760110 (Aluminium; unwrought, (not alloyed)). Aluminum ingots, specifically those that are unwrought and not alloyed, are classified under HS code 760110. This code is designated for primary aluminum in its initial cast form, prior to any significant mechanical working or the addition of alloying elements.
How do I classify Aluminum ingot for customs?
Aluminum ingot is classified under HS code 760110 — Aluminium; unwrought, (not alloyed). This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
How is an "unwrought" aluminum ingot distinguished from "wrought" aluminum products for HS classification?
An unwrought aluminum ingot (HS 760110) is metal that has only been cast into a basic shape, such as a block or billet, and has not undergone further mechanical processing like rolling, drawing, or extruding. Wrought aluminum products (e.g., HS 7604 for bars, rods, profiles) have been mechanically worked to achieve their final form and properties.
Which countries are the top exporters of aluminum ingot (HS 760110)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 760110 (the code used for aluminum ingot) in UN Comtrade data were Russia (about $7.6B, 19% of world exports), Canada ($4.5B) and Australia ($3.5B). World exports came to about $39.7B, 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.
