Product classification
HS code for Aluminum windows: 7610.10
Aluminium, structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading no. 9406) and parts of structures, doors, windows and their frames and thresholds for doors.
Classification of aluminum windows under HS 7610.10
Aluminum windows and their frames are classified under HS code 7610.10. This classification falls under Chapter 76 (Aluminum and articles thereof) and heading 7610, which covers aluminum structures and parts of structures. The classification logic is based on the functional application of the product as a structural component of a building. Under the Harmonized System, the material of construction (aluminum) dictates the chapter, while the specific use (doors, windows, and their frames) dictates the subheading. Even if the windows are imported with glass panes already installed, they remain classified under 7610.10 because the aluminum frame provides the essential character of the article as a structural building component. This follows GRI 3(b), which addresses goods consisting of different materials. The classification remains consistent whether the windows are for residential, commercial, or industrial construction, provided they are made of aluminum.

Codes often confused with 7610.10
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 7616.99, which is a 'basket' category for other articles of aluminum. Importers may mistakenly use this for window components that should actually be under 7610. Additionally, if the windows are part of a complete 'prefabricated building,' they might be misclassified under HS code 9406.90. However, when shipped as individual components or sets of windows, 7610.10 is the correct and more specific designation.

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).
