Product classification
HS code for Aluminum plate: 7606.91
Aluminium, plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, not alloyed, (not rectangular or square).
Classification of aluminum plate under HS 7606.91
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.

Codes often confused with 7606.91
Common mistake. 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.

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).
