HS Code for Aluminum sheet

Aluminum sheets are classified under HS code 7606.91 based on their material composition, thickness, and geometric shape. Heading 7606 covers aluminum plates, sheets, and strip with a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm. Subheading 7606.91 specifically refers to products made of non-alloyed aluminum that are not rectangular or square in shape, such as circular discs or irregular profiles. The classification follows General Interpretative Rules (GIR) 1 and 6, which prioritize the specific description of the material and its physical dimensions. To qualify for this code, the aluminum must be at least 99% pure by weight, and the thickness must be strictly greater than 0.2 mm. If the product is rectangular or square, it would fall under a different subheading. The "not alloyed" designation is critical, as any significant addition of other elements like magnesium or manganese would shift the classification to the alloyed subheadings. These sheets are commonly used in specialized manufacturing where high-purity aluminum is required in specific, non-standard dimensions for automotive or aerospace components.

Products Included

• Non-alloyed aluminum circular discs
• Irregularly shaped aluminum sheets thicker than 0.2mm
• High-purity aluminum plates with non-rectangular profiles
• Perforated non-alloyed aluminum sheets (not rectangular)

Common Misclassification

This code is frequently confused with HS code 7606.11, which is reserved for non-alloyed aluminum sheets that are rectangular or square. Additionally, products thinner than 0.2 mm must be classified under heading 7607 as aluminum foil. Importers also mistakenly use 7606.92 if they fail to verify that the aluminum is non-alloyed.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Aluminum sheet?

The HS code for non-alloyed aluminum sheets that are not rectangular or square and exceed 0.2mm in thickness is 7606.91.

Does this code include aluminum foil?

No, aluminum foil is classified under heading 7607 because its thickness is 0.2 mm or less.
