HS Code 7610Aluminium; structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading no. 9406) and parts (e.g. bridges and sections, towers, lattice masts, etc) plates, rods, profiles and tubes for structures

What HS code 7610 covers

Think of a structure as a built frame or support. A bridge section is one. A tower or a lattice mast is another. The heading also takes doors, windows, their frames and door thresholds. Aluminium plates, rods, profiles and tubes count too, if they are made for use in a structure.

Some buyers write aluminum structures with the US spelling. Some traders search for the HSN code 7610. The goods and the number are the same.

One exclusion matters. Prefabricated buildings do not belong here. They go to heading 9406. This heading sits in Chapter 76, the aluminium chapter, so every item must be made of aluminium.

How to choose between 761010 and 761090

Tariff classification starts with the exact item. Ask what it is and what it is for. Then follow the steps below.

The letters n.e.c. mean not elsewhere classified. That makes 761090 the catch-all code for this heading. Use 761010 only when the item clearly fits its narrower wording.

• A door, a window, a frame or a door threshold: use 761010.
• Any other aluminium structure or part, or a plate, rod, profile or tube made for one: use 761090.
• Not sure? Try the HS code classifier, then check the rules of your own customs office.

HS 7610 vs related aluminium headings

Many aluminium goods look alike, so people often pick the wrong heading. The test is purpose. Goods made for a structure lean towards 7610. General-purpose goods stay in their own heading.

• A profile cut for a structure moves to 7610.
• HS 7608 is for aluminium tubes and pipes in general.
• HS 7606 is for aluminium plates, sheets and strip in general.
• HS 7616 is the fallback for other aluminium articles. Use it only when no closer heading fits.
