HS code for Aluminum rod: 7604.10
Aluminium, (not alloyed), bars, rods and profiles.
Classification of aluminum rod under HS 7604.10
Aluminum rods are classified under HS code 7604.10. Under the Harmonized System, "bars and rods" are defined as products which have a uniform solid cross-section along their whole length in the shape of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles, or regular convex polygons. For classification under 7604.10, these items must be made of non-alloyed aluminum. The distinction between a rod and a wire (heading 7605) is often based on whether the product is in coils and its cross-sectional dimension. Rods are typically straight lengths, though they can be in large coils, but they are generally thicker than wire. This code is part of the broader category for semi-manufactured aluminum products that have not yet been turned into finished articles. The classification is strictly for solid products; any hollow center would reclassify the item as a pipe or tube.

Codes often confused with 7604.10
Common mistake. Aluminum rods are often misclassified as aluminum wire under HS code 7605.11. While both can be circular in cross-section, wire is typically defined by being in coils and having a smaller diameter. Another common error is confusing rods with aluminum plates or sheets (7606). If the product is rectangular, it is only a rod if its thickness exceeds one-tenth of its width; otherwise, it is classified as a plate, sheet, or strip under 7606.
Top exporters and importers of HS 760410 (the code used for aluminum rod), 2025

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).
