6061 Aluminum I-Beam Profile

An extruded I-shaped profile made from 6061 aluminum alloy, commonly used in structural applications like framing and supports. It falls under HTS 7604.29.1090 as an 'other' aluminum alloy profile, not specifically rectangular or hollow, with aluminum predominating over other elements per chapter definitions. Profiles are extruded shapes beyond simple bars or rods.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7604.21.00Lower: 76.5% vs 80%

If rectangular (including square) cross-section

Rectangular profiles are classified separately under 7604.21, regardless of alloy, splitting from 'other' profiles.

7610.90Lower: 15.7% vs 80%

If further manufactured into finished structures or parts

Machined or assembled aluminum structures move to Chapter 76 heading 7610 for 'other aluminum structures'.

7604.29.30Lower: 77.6% vs 80%

If imported as hollow profiles

Hollow profiles, like tubes, have a dedicated subheading 7604.29.30, separate from solid 'other' profiles.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alloy composition with mill test certificates to confirm aluminum predominance and meet subheading note (b) for aluminum alloys

Provide detailed extrusion drawings or profiles to distinguish from bars/rods and avoid reclassification
