Product classification
HS code for Aluminum wire: 7605.19
Aluminium, (not alloyed), wire, maximum cross-sectional dimension is 7mm or less.
Classification of aluminum wire under HS 7605.19
HS code 760519 is designated for aluminum wire that is not alloyed and has a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 7mm or less. This classification hinges on three critical attributes: the material's purity, its physical form, and its dimensional limits. "Not alloyed" indicates that the wire consists predominantly of pure aluminum, without significant additions of other metals that would classify it as an alloy. The term "wire" refers to a drawn product of solid cross-section, typically supplied in coils. The specific dimension of 7mm or less is crucial, as it differentiates wire from rods or bars, which generally have larger cross-sections, ensuring precise categorization within the Harmonized System.

Codes often confused with 7605.19
Common mistake. Misclassification often occurs when distinguishing non-alloyed aluminum wire from alloyed aluminum wire, which falls under HS code 760529. The presence of alloying elements is the primary differentiator. Another common error involves confusing aluminum wire with aluminum rods or bars (HS code 7604). The critical distinction here is the maximum cross-sectional dimension: products exceeding 7mm are generally classified as rods or bars, even if they are in coil form. Additionally, insulated aluminum electrical conductors are classified under Chapter 85, not Chapter 76, due to their composite nature and specific function.
Top exporters and importers of HS 760519 (the code used for aluminum wire), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 760519 (the code used for aluminum wire) in UN Comtrade data was Egypt, with 17% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 7.8% 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 760519, not only aluminum wire.

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 wire
What is the HS code for Aluminum wire?
The HS code for Aluminum wire is 760519 (Aluminium; (not alloyed), wire, maximum cross-sectional dimension is 7mm or less). The HS code for non-alloyed aluminum wire with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 7mm or less is 760519. This code specifically applies to pure aluminum wire meeting these dimensional and compositional criteria.
How do I classify Aluminum wire for customs?
Aluminum wire is classified under HS code 760519 — Aluminium; (not alloyed), wire, maximum cross-sectional dimension is 7mm or less. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
What is the significance of the 7mm cross-sectional dimension for aluminum wire classification?
The 7mm maximum cross-sectional dimension is a critical criterion used to distinguish aluminum wire (7605) from aluminum rods and bars (7604) within the Harmonized System. Products with a cross-sectional dimension greater than 7mm are typically classified as rods or bars, even if supplied in coils, reflecting a difference in manufacturing process and typical end-use applications.
Which countries are the top exporters of aluminum wire (HS 760519)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 760519 (the code used for aluminum wire) in UN Comtrade data were Egypt ($50M, 17% of world exports), Spain ($29M) and Italy ($25M). World exports came to about $298M, 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 wire (HS 760519)?
In 2025, the top importers of HS 760519 (the code used for aluminum wire) in UN Comtrade data were China ($19M, 7.8% of world imports), the United States ($19M) and El Salvador ($14M). World imports came to about $243M, 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.
Is the HS code for Aluminum wire the same in all countries?
The base HS code 760519 for Aluminum wire is internationally standardized for the first 6 digits across 200+ countries. Individual countries may add additional digits for national tariff lines and specific classifications.
What is the NCM code for aluminum wire in Brazil?
