Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness exceeds 0.15 mm but not over 0.2 mm
Slightly thicker foil in the same unbacked, rolled category uses the next thickness subheading.
If made from aluminum alloys rather than pure aluminum
Alloyed foil (Al <99% pure) falls under Chapter 76 heading for plates/sheets of alloys.
If laminated or backed with plastic for pharma use
Plastic-backed foil is often classified as non-cellular plastic sheets, not aluminum foil.
