HS Code for Aluminum plate

HS code 760691 is designated for aluminum plates, sheets, and strip, with a thickness exceeding 0.2mm, that are not alloyed and are not rectangular or square in shape. This classification falls under Chapter 76, which covers aluminum and articles thereof. The specific criteria for 760691 are crucial: the material must be non-alloyed aluminum, its thickness must be greater than 0.2mm, and its shape must be other than rectangular or square. This code distinguishes such products from alloyed aluminum, thinner materials (foil), or those with standard rectangular/square dimensions, reflecting their specific manufacturing processes and applications.

Products Included

• Non-alloyed aluminum plates (thickness > 0.2mm, non-rectangular/square)
• Non-alloyed aluminum sheets (thickness > 0.2mm, non-rectangular/square)
• Non-alloyed aluminum strip (thickness > 0.2mm, non-rectangular/square)
• Aluminum blanks cut into irregular shapes (if non-alloyed and >0.2mm)
• Circular or oval non-alloyed aluminum sheets (thickness > 0.2mm)

Common Misclassification

Common misclassifications occur with other subheadings within 7606. For instance, 760611 covers non-alloyed aluminum plates, sheets, and strip that are rectangular or square, directly contrasting with the "not rectangular or square" criterion of 760691. Similarly, 760692 covers *alloyed* aluminum plates, sheets, and strip that are not rectangular or square, differing from 760691 by the presence of alloying elements. HS code 7607, which covers aluminum foil, is distinguished by its maximum thickness of 0.2mm, whereas 760691 applies to materials exceeding this thickness. Careful attention to alloy status, thickness, and shape is essential for accurate classification.

FAQ

What is the HS code for non-alloyed aluminum plates thicker than 0.2mm and not rectangular?

The HS code for non-alloyed aluminum plates, sheets, and strip with a thickness exceeding 0.2mm and not rectangular or square is 760691.

How does 760691 differ from 760692?

HS code 760691 covers non-alloyed aluminum plates, sheets, and strip (thickness > 0.2mm, not rectangular or square). In contrast, 760692 covers *alloyed* aluminum plates, sheets, and strip with the same dimensional and shape characteristics. The key differentiator is the presence or absence of alloying elements.
