HS Code for Aluminum structural components
HS code 761090 covers aluminium structures and parts of structures, not elsewhere specified (n.e.c.) within heading 7610, and excluding prefabricated buildings of heading 9406. This classification applies to fabricated aluminium elements designed to form part of a larger construction or framework. These components are typically manufactured from aluminium plates, rods, profiles, or tubes and have undergone processes such as cutting, bending, welding, or assembly to create specific structural parts. The key is their function as a structural element in buildings, bridges, or other constructions, rather than as raw material or a complete building.
Products Included

- Parts of industrial frameworks and platforms
Common Misclassification
Aluminum structural components (761090) are often confused with basic aluminium forms such as bars, rods, and profiles (7604) or tubes and pipes (7608). The critical distinction is that 761090 applies to *fabricated* components that are ready for assembly into a structure, whereas 7604 and 7608 cover *unworked* or *semi-finished* basic shapes. If a tube or profile has been significantly processed and integrated into a structural part, it falls under 761090. Additionally, complete prefabricated buildings are classified under 9406, not 761090, which is specifically for *parts* of structures.
FAQ
What is the HS code for aluminum structural components?
The Harmonized System (HS) code for aluminum structural components is 761090.
How do aluminum structural components differ from aluminum profiles?
Aluminum profiles (7604) are basic, semi-finished shapes. Aluminum structural components (761090) are fabricated assemblies or parts made from profiles or other forms, designed for direct use in a structural application.
