Aluminum bars, rods and profiles
13 declarable lines
Heading 7604 covers aluminum bars, rods and profiles. The lines split first between not alloyed aluminum and aluminum alloys, then between profiles and bars and rods, with further breaks for hollow profiles, round cross sections and specific alloy types.
Products in this heading
- Aluminum round bars
- Aluminum rods for machining
- Solid aluminum profiles
- Hollow aluminum profiles
- Aluminum alloy extrusions
- Heat-treatable aluminum alloy bars
- Not alloyed aluminum profiles
How to choose the right subheading
- Decide whether the metal is not alloyed aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
- Decide whether the article is a profile or a bar or rod.
- For bars and rods, check whether the cross section is round or other than round.
- For profiles, separate hollow profiles from other profiles.
- For alloy bars, rods and profiles, check whether the metal meets the heat-treatable industrial alloy or high-strength heat-treatable alloy descriptions in the chapter statistical notes.
Often confused with
- Heading 7605Aluminum wire
Wire is classified in heading 7605, not as bars, rods or profiles.
- Heading 7608Aluminum tubes and pipes
Tubes and pipes are in heading 7608 even when they look like hollow profiles.
- Heading 7606Aluminum plates, sheets and strip
Flat rolled products over 0.2 mm go to heading 7606.
- Heading 7610Aluminum structures and parts of structures
Fabricated structural assemblies and prepared structural parts are in heading 7610.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for not alloyed aluminum profiles?
Not alloyed aluminum profiles are classified under 7604.10.10.00, with a general (MFN) rate of 5%.
What is the duty on aluminum alloy hollow profiles?
Aluminum alloy hollow profiles other than the heat-treatable industrial alloy line are classified under 7604.21.00.90, with a general (MFN) rate of 1.5%.
How do I classify aluminum alloy round bars?
Start with 7604.29.30.90 for other aluminum alloy round bars, with a general (MFN) rate of 2.6%; if the metal is a high-strength heat-treatable alloy described in statistical note 6, use 7604.29.30.30 at the same 2.6% general (MFN) rate.
