HS Code 7605Aluminium wire

What HS code 7605 covers

Heading 7605 names plain aluminium wire. The Harmonized System is a code list kept by the World Customs Organization (WCO). Customs offices around the world use it to name goods in the same way.

The classification path runs from Section XV, to Chapter 76, to heading 7605, to the subheadings 760511 to 760529. The heading is the four-digit part. The subheading adds two more digits and splits wire by alloy and by size.

Many countries add extra digits for their own tariff lines. India calls the result an HSN code. The United States calls it an HTS code. The shared part is the six-digit code, so the guide below works in every market. National duty rates are not shown here. Check your own tariff line before you file.

How to choose the right wire subheading

Two questions decide the code. The first is whether the aluminium is alloyed. The second is the maximum cross-sectional dimension, which means how thick the wire is at its widest point.

Non-alloy aluminium wire goes to 760511 or 760519. Aluminium alloy wire goes to 760521 or 760529. In each pair, the thickness picks the code. The official text says 7mm or less for one code and over 7mm for the other, so a wire of exactly 7mm falls in the thinner group.

• Non-alloy and thicker than 7mm: 760511
• Non-alloy and 7mm or less: 760519
• Alloy and thicker than 7mm: 760521
• Alloy and 7mm or less: 760529

Aluminium wire vs stranded wire and cables

Wire that is twisted into strands is not plain wire. Stranded wire, cables and plaited bands that are not electrically insulated sit in heading 7614. If your product is made of several strands, start there.

Goods sold as bars, rods or profiles have their own place in heading 7604. Aluminium that has not been shaped yet, called unwrought aluminium, belongs in heading 7601. Waste and scrap have a separate heading too.

Read the heading names side by side. Pick the one that describes the shape of your product, not only the metal.

Is HS 7605 the same in different countries?

The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System. After that, each country can set its own rules and add digits. A national code can therefore be longer than 760511, but it starts with the same six digits.

If you are unsure, the HS code classifier can help you narrow down the right code before you ship.
