Product classification
HS code for Aluminum structural components: 7610.90
Aluminium, structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading no. 9406) and parts of structures, n.e.c. in heading no. 7610, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like.
Classification of aluminum structural components under HS 7610.90
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.

Codes often confused with 7610.90
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 761090 (the code used for aluminum structural components), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 761090 (the code used for aluminum structural components) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 36% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 11% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Figures cover everything classified under HS 761090, not only aluminum structural components.

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).

Questions about aluminum structural components
What is the HS code for Aluminum structural components?
The HS code for Aluminum structural components is 761090 (Aluminium; structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading no. 9406) and parts of structures, n.e.c. in heading no. 7610, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like). The Harmonized System (HS) code for aluminum structural components is 761090.
How do I classify Aluminum structural components for customs?
Aluminum structural components is classified under HS code 761090 — Aluminium; structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading no. 9406) and parts of structures, n.e.c. in heading no. 7610, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
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.
Which countries are the top exporters of aluminum structural components (HS 761090)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 761090 (the code used for aluminum structural components) in UN Comtrade data were China ($4.8B, 36% of world exports), Germany ($1.5B) and Poland ($774M). World exports came to about $13.4B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Which countries are the top importers of aluminum structural components (HS 761090)?
In 2025, the top importers of HS 761090 (the code used for aluminum structural components) in UN Comtrade data were Germany ($1.3B, 11% of world imports), the United States ($1.1B) and India ($700M).
