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

Codes often confused with 7606.91
Common mistake. 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.

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).
