Chapter 76 covers aluminum and articles thereof, including unwrought aluminum, aluminum products (plates, sheets, strip, foil, tubes, profiles, etc.), aluminum articles, and waste and scrap. This chapter is an important component of the base metal chapters in the HS classification, alongside Chapter 74 for copper and articles thereof. Aluminum products are widely used in construction, transportation, packaging, electronics, and other fields. When classifying, it is necessary to distinguish between alloy and non-alloy, form (plates, sheets, strip, foil), and degree of processing. Heading 7606 covers aluminum rectangular (including square) plates, sheets, and strip, with a thickness greater than 0.2 mm. It includes both non-alloy aluminum and aluminum alloy, which may be rolled, polished, coated, drilled, stamped, etc., but must not have the character of articles of other headings. Under this heading, further subdivision is made by thickness, alloy type, and whether coated. First 2 digits 76 = Chapter for aluminum and articles thereof; digits 3-4 = 06 = aluminum plates, sheets, and strip (thickness > 0.2 mm); digits 5-6 = 92 = of non-alloy aluminum, rectangular (including square), thickness > 0.2 mm. Note: the 5th digit 9 indicates non-alloy aluminum, the 6th digit 2 indicates rectangular plates. If aluminum alloy, classify under 7606.1x; if thickness ≤ 0.2 mm, classify under 7607 (aluminum foil). The goods are plates of non-alloy aluminum, rectangular, thickness > 0.2 mm, meeting the description of 7606.92. They are not classified under 7606.11 (non-alloy aluminum but not rectangular) or 7606.12 (aluminum alloy rectangular plates), nor under 7607 (aluminum foil with thickness ≤ 0.2 mm).

Product Name: Declare the product name specifically as "non-alloy aluminum rectangular plate", avoiding the generic term "aluminum plate". Material: Indicate non-alloy aluminum, and may include grade such as 1050, 1060, 1100, etc. Shape: Declare as rectangular plate, including square, and specify whether further processed. Thickness: Declare thickness precisely in millimeters, must be greater than 0.2 mm. Dimensions: Declare length, width, thickness, and other specifications for customs verification. State: Specify whether coated, polished, drilled, etc., and whether in coils. Use: Briefly describe the main use, such as construction, decoration, manufacturing, etc. Product Name: Non-alloy aluminum rectangular plate; Material: Non-alloy aluminum, grade 1060; Shape: Rectangular plate; Thickness: 3.0 mm; Dimensions: 1000 mm × 2000 mm × 3.0 mm; State: Not coated, not further processed; Use: For building curtain walls. Thickness unit mistakenly reported in centimeters or inches, leading to classification errors. Mistakenly reporting non-alloy aluminum as aluminum alloy, classified under 7606.12. Mistakenly reporting rectangular plates as non-rectangular, classified under 7606.11.

Core basis for classification: 1) Material is non-alloy aluminum; 2) Shape is rectangular (including square); 3) Thickness is greater than 0.2 mm; 4) Does not exceed the processing scope of heading 7606 (e.g., has not become an article of another heading). Need to refer to the Tariff notes and classification decisions. 7606.11 Non-alloy aluminum non-rectangular plates: Different shape, 7606.11 is non-rectangular, such as circular, irregular; 7606.92 is rectangular. 7606.12 Aluminum alloy rectangular plates: Different material, 7606.12 is aluminum alloy, 7606.92 is non-alloy aluminum. 7607.11 Non-alloy aluminum foil: Different thickness, 7607.11 thickness ≤ 0.2 mm, 7606.92 thickness > 0.2 mm. 7604.21 Non-alloy aluminum profiles: Different shape, 7604.21 is profiles, 7606.92 is plates, sheets, and strip. Is it non-alloy aluminum? Is it rectangular (including square)? Is the thickness > 0.2 mm? Does it not exceed the processing scope of 7606? Is it not in coils?

How to check the import tariff rate for 760692? You can check through the General Administration of Customs website, Single Window, or the "Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China". Tariff rates may change due to trade agreements, country of origin, etc. It is recommended to refer to the latest tariff. What is the difference between 760692 and 760611? 760692 is non-alloy aluminum rectangular plates, thickness > 0.2 mm; 760611 is non-alloy aluminum rectangular plates, but thickness ≤ 0.2 mm (actually aluminum foil, classified under 7607). Note that 760611 is an old code, currently 7606.11 (non-rectangular), etc. Are non-alloy aluminum plates still classified under 760692 after coating? If the coating does not change their essential character, they remain classified under 7606. However, if after coating they become articles of other headings (such as printing plates), they may be classified under other headings. How to classify aluminum plates with a thickness of exactly 0.2 mm? Heading 7606 requires thickness > 0.2 mm; if thickness ≤ 0.2 mm, classify under 7607 (aluminum foil). Therefore, 0.2 mm should be classified under 7607. Is material certification required for declaration? Yes, it is recommended to provide material certification or test reports to prove non-alloy aluminum and specific grade, avoiding classification disputes. Does 760692 include coiled aluminum plates? No. Coiled aluminum plates with thickness > 0.2 mm are usually classified under 7606.11 or 7606.12 (non-rectangular), while 7606.92 requires rectangular and not coiled. If aluminum plates are stamped and formed, are they still classified under 760692? If after stamping they remain plates and have not become articles of other headings, they can be classified under 7606; but if they become specific parts, they may be classified under other headings. How to declare aluminum plates for cross-border e-commerce export? Declare according to actual product name, material, shape, thickness, etc., and pay attention to export regulatory conditions. It is recommended to consult a customs broker or use customs advance classification.
