HS Code 7601Aluminium; unwrought

What HS code 7601 covers

The Harmonized System is a shared list that countries use to name traded goods. Customs offices print these codes on import and export forms. Some traders say HSN code 7601 when they mean this same heading.

It sits in Section XV, which is about base metals, and inside Chapter 76 for aluminium and articles thereof. Unwrought aluminium is the raw start of that chain. Later headings cover scrap, powders, bars, sheet, foil, pipes and finished articles. If your goods already have one of those shapes, they probably do not belong here.

HS 760110 vs 760120: not alloyed or alloys

The difference between 760110 and 760120 comes down to one question. Was other metal added to the aluminium on purpose? If not, the goods go under 760110, aluminium unwrought and not alloyed. If yes, they go under 760120, unwrought aluminium alloys.

To decide, check the product specification or the mill certificate from your seller. It should say whether the metal is alloyed. If the papers are unclear, ask the seller before you file. A wrong six-digit code can slow a shipment at the border. It can also make your records hard to match with market data.

If you are still unsure, the HS code classifier lets you test the wording of a code against your goods.
