Alternative Classifications

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

7606.12Lower: 16.5% vs 38%

If contains alloys like 3003 series with Mn >0.1%

Even slight alloying per note (b) moves it from pure aluminum to alloyed 'other' subheadings.

7605.19.00Higher: 39.2% vs 38%

If under 0.2 mm thickness

Thin foil-like sheets of non-alloyed aluminum classify in 7605, not exceeding 0.2 mm plates.

7610.90Lower: 15.7% vs 38%

If processed into unfinished tanks or vessels

Aluminum structures for tanks shift to 7610 as articles, not raw sheet/plate material.

Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain supplier certification for unalloyed status; test for alloying elements like Cu or Mg if challenged

Use ISF filings early for thick plates, as they may require advance measurement verification
