Clad Aluminum Heat Exchanger Plate
A rectangular aluminum plate exceeding 0.2 mm thickness, clad with a thin layer of corrosion-resistant metal on one or both sides, used in heat exchangers for automotive radiators. It is classified under HTS 7606.91.60 as unalloyed aluminum plate that is clad, distinguishing it from non-clad plates in 7606.91.30. The cladding enhances durability in harsh thermal environments.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made from aluminum alloy instead of pure aluminum
Alloyed aluminum plates shift to 7606.92 as aluminum no longer predominates without alloy limits exceeded.
If imported as finished heat exchanger part rather than raw plate
Finished heat exchanger parts for machinery are classified by function in Chapter 84, not as primary aluminum shapes.
If thickness is 0.2 mm or less
Plates ≤0.2 mm thick, even clad and unalloyed, fall under the rectifying heading 7606.11 for thinner foil-like products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify aluminum purity meets 'not alloyed' definition (≥99% Al, Fe+Si ≤0.1%) via mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Document cladding process and thickness (>0.2mm) with technical specs; common pitfall is mismeasuring as strip if width/thickness ratio exceeds norms
• Ensure origin certification for preferential tariffs; clad plates often face AD/CVD scrutiny from specific countries
