Heading 7606

Aluminum plates, sheets and strip, of a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm

19 declarable lines

Heading 7606 covers aluminum plates, sheets and strip that are thicker than 0.2 mm, whether or not alloyed or clad. The heading splits first by shape, rectangular (including square) in 7606.11 and 7606.12 versus other shapes in 7606.91 and 7606.92, then by whether the metal is alloyed, whether it is clad, and whether thickness exceeds 6.3 mm. General (MFN) rates run from 2.7% to 6.5% depending on these factors.

How to choose the right subheading

Shape: rectangular (including square) goes to 7606.11 or 7606.12; other shapes go to 7606.91 or 7606.92.
Material: not alloyed (7606.11, 7606.91) versus aluminum alloys (7606.12, 7606.92).
Cladding: clad lines sit in separate subheadings from not clad lines.
Thickness: whether the sheet is more than 6.3 mm or 6.3 mm or less.
End use: for alloy sheet 6.3 mm or less, can body stock and lid stock have their own lines, and specific alloy types referenced in the statistical notes also split the line.
