HS Code for Aluminum strip

Aluminum strip is classified under HS code 7606.91 when it meets specific criteria regarding thickness, alloy composition, and shape. Heading 7606 includes aluminum plates, sheets, and strip thicker than 0.2 mm. The term "strip" typically refers to flat-rolled products that are coiled and have a width-to-thickness ratio that distinguishes them from wire. Subheading 7606.91 is applied when the strip is made of non-alloyed aluminum and is not rectangular or square, which often refers to strips with tapered edges or those cut into specific non-linear profiles. The classification process involves verifying the chemical composition to ensure it is "not alloyed" (containing at least 99% aluminum) and measuring the thickness to ensure it exceeds the 0.2 mm threshold. This code is essential for identifying raw material inputs in various manufacturing sectors that require high-purity aluminum in non-standard shapes for stamping or further processing into industrial components.

Products Included

• Non-alloyed aluminum strip thicker than 0.2mm
• Coiled aluminum strip with non-rectangular edges
• High-purity aluminum strip for industrial stamping
• Non-alloyed aluminum flat-rolled products in coils

Common Misclassification

It is often confused with HS code 7606.11, which covers rectangular or square strips. It is also confused with HS code 7607.11 if the material is 0.2 mm or thinner, as that is defined as foil. Furthermore, if the strip is alloyed, it should be classified under 7606.92.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Aluminum strip?

The HS code for non-alloyed aluminum strip that is not rectangular or square and is thicker than 0.2mm is 7606.91.

What defines the difference between strip and foil?

The primary difference is thickness; products 0.2 mm or thinner are foil (7607), while those thicker than 0.2 mm are plates, sheets, or strip (7606).
