HS Code 7616Aluminium; articles n.e.c. in chapter 76
3 six-digit codes · Heading 16 of 16 in Chapter 76 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7616 is the heading for other articles of aluminium, also searched as HSN code 7616. It is where aluminium fasteners and wire netting sit, along with goods that no other aluminium heading names.
The WCO writes heading 7616 as a residual bucket: goods of Chapter 76that answer to “Aluminium; articles n.e.c. in chapter 76” and that no more specific heading in the chapter already claims. It still carries 3 six-digit codes, 761610 through 761699, so “other” is not the end of the classification here. The heading is number 16 of 16 in Chapter 76, Aluminium and articles thereof, which runs to 35 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 7616
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 761610 | Aluminium; nails, tacks, staples (other than those of heading no. 8305), screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, washers and similar articles |
| 761691 | Aluminium; cloth, grill, netting and fencing, of aluminium wire |
| 761699 | Aluminium; articles n.e.c. in heading 7616 |
What heading 7616 covers
Think of this heading as the last shelf in the aluminium chapter. Customs lists often write "n.e.c.", which is short for not elsewhere classified. In plain words, these are aluminium articles not specified elsewhere.
HSN is the name India uses for the same Harmonized System number, so the two terms point to one product group. The goods here are finished or semi-finished items, such as small fixings and woven wire products. Raw metal, scrap, powder, sheet and foil sit in earlier headings.
Six-digit codes under HS code 7616, in plain words
Each six-digit code points to a different kind of product. Here is what you can expect under each one.
- 761610: aluminium fasteners and fixings. Think of nails, tacks, screws, bolts, nuts, rivets and washers.
- Think of woven or welded wire sheets and fence panels.
- 761699: any other aluminium article that fits the heading but is not one of the two groups above. Use it last.
How to confirm the correct code for aluminium articles
Work through a short checklist before you settle on this heading. A wrong code can lead to questions from customs, so take your time.
- Check headings 7601 to 7615 first. If your product fits one of them, use that heading and stop.
- Compare the wire headings. Plain aluminium wire goes to 7605. Stranded wire, cables and plaited bands that are not electrically insulated go to 7614.
- Look at 7610 if the item is a structure or a part of one, such as a bridge section, tower or lattice mast.
- Look at 7615 for table, kitchen, household and sanitary goods.
- Check the staple exclusion. Staples of heading 8305 are outside 761610.
- Still unsure? Describe the product in the HS code classifier and compare the result with the lists above.
