Chapter 76 covers aluminum and articles thereof, and is an important part of the broader category of base metals and articles thereof in the HS classification (Chapters 72-83). The scope of this chapter includes unwrought aluminum, aluminum powders, aluminum bars, rods and profiles, aluminum wire, aluminum plates, sheets and strip, aluminum foil, aluminum tubes and pipes, aluminum structures, aluminum containers, and various finished aluminum articles. However, it should be noted that aluminum machine parts, electrical parts, etc., if they already constitute the essential character of a complete machine, should be classified under Chapters 84-85; aluminum furniture is classified under Chapter 94. The core of this chapter lies in hierarchical division according to the degree of processing and use of aluminum materials, from raw materials to semi-finished products and then to finished products, reflecting the principle of progression by degree of processing. Heading 7607 specifically refers to aluminum foil, i.e., thin sheets of aluminum not exceeding 0.2 mm in thickness (whether or not printed, coated, backed, or cut to shape), but backed material solely for reinforcement or decorative purposes that does not change the essential character of the aluminum foil remains classified under this heading. Under this heading, it is further subdivided by material (non-alloy aluminum, aluminum alloy) and thickness. Aluminum foil is usually produced by rolling, is extremely thin, and has a wide range of uses such as packaging, insulation, and decoration. It should be noted that if aluminum foil is combined with backing materials such as paper or plastic and already constitutes the essential character of goods of other headings, it may be classified under other chapters. HS code 760711 is a six-digit subheading. The first 2 digits "76" represent Chapter 76: Aluminum and articles thereof. Digits 3-4 "07" represent heading 7607: Aluminum foil (thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm). Digits 5-6 "11" represent subheading 760711: non-alloy aluminum foil, of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm, not further worked (i.e., not subjected to other processing after rolling, such as not annealed, not coated, not printed, not backed, etc.). It should be noted that subheading 760711 covers only non-alloy aluminum foil not further worked; if it has been further worked (such as coated, printed, backed, etc.), it is classified under 760719; if it is aluminum alloy foil, it is classified under 760720. Therefore, 760711 is the most basic type of aluminum foil, usually in rolled state, unbacked, and uncoated. This product is non-alloy aluminum foil, of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm, and not further worked, so it is classified under 760711. If it were aluminum alloy foil, it should be classified under 760720; if it were non-alloy aluminum foil but further worked such as coated, printed, or backed, it should be classified under 760719. If the aluminum foil is combined with paper, plastic, etc., and has lost the essential character of aluminum foil, it may be classified under Chapter 48, Chapter 39, etc. Therefore, 760711 applies to the most basic non-alloy aluminum foil that has not undergone any subsequent processing.

Product name: Fill in the accurate name of the commodity, such as "non-alloy aluminum foil" or "aluminum foil (non-alloy)", and avoid colloquial or vague names. Material: Indicate the purity or alloy composition of aluminum, such as "non-alloy aluminum, containing 99.5% aluminum", to distinguish non-alloy from aluminum alloy. Thickness: Fill in the actual thickness in millimeters, accurate to two decimal places, ensuring it does not exceed 0.2 mm. State: Indicate whether it has been further worked, such as "not further worked", "rolled", "annealed", etc. Shape: Describe the shape, such as "roll", "sheet", "cut to shape", etc., but cutting to shape does not affect classification. Whether backed: Indicate whether there is backing material, such as "unbacked", "paper-backed", etc. Use: Briefly explain the use, such as "for packaging", "for capacitors", "for decoration", etc. Brand or manufacturer: Fill in the brand or manufacturer name; if there is no brand, write "none". Product name: non-alloy aluminum foil; Material: non-alloy aluminum, containing 99.5% aluminum; Thickness: 0.15 mm; State: rolled, not further worked; Shape: roll; Whether backed: unbacked; Use: for packaging; Brand: XX Aluminum. Mistakenly declaring aluminum alloy foil as 760711, when it should actually be classified under 760720. Aluminum sheets with a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm should be classified under 7606, not 7607. Non-alloy aluminum foil that has been further worked such as coated or printed should be classified under 760719, not 760711.

Core criteria for classification: first confirm whether the material is non-alloy aluminum, then confirm whether the thickness does not exceed 0.2 mm, and finally confirm whether it has been further worked (such as coated, printed, backed, etc.). Only when all three conditions are met at the same time - non-alloy, thickness ≤0.2 mm, and not further worked - is it classified under 760711. If it is aluminum alloy, it is classified under 760720; if it has been further worked, it is classified under 760719. In addition, if the aluminum foil is combined with backing material and already constitutes the essential character of other goods, it should be classified according to other chapters. 760719 Other non-alloy aluminum foil: 760719 covers non-alloy aluminum foil but further worked (such as coated, printed, backed, etc.), while 760711 is limited to non-alloy aluminum foil not further worked. 760720 Aluminum alloy foil: 760720 covers aluminum alloy foil, whether or not further worked, while 760711 covers only non-alloy aluminum foil. 7606 Aluminum plates, sheets and strip: 7606 covers aluminum plates, sheets and strip with a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm, while 7607 covers only aluminum foil with a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm. 7605 Aluminum wire: 7605 covers aluminum wire, while 7607 covers aluminum foil; the shape and processing technology are different. 7604 Aluminum bars, rods and profiles: 7604 covers aluminum bars, rods and profiles, while 7607 covers aluminum foil; the shape and use differ significantly. Is the material non-alloy aluminum? Is the thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm? Has it not been further worked (no coating, printing, backing, etc.)? Is it clearly distinguished from the adjacent codes 760719 and 760720? Has it been confirmed that it does not belong to 7606 aluminum plates, sheets and strip?

How can I check the import tariff rate for 760711? You can check the most-favored-nation tariff rate, agreement tariff rate, etc., through the official website of the General Administration of Customs of China, the International Trade Single Window, or professional tariff query platforms by entering HS code 760711 and selecting the country of origin and trade mode. Note that tariff rates may change, and it is recommended to rely on the latest published version. What is the difference in classification between non-alloy aluminum foil and aluminum alloy foil? Non-alloy aluminum foil (purity ≥99%) is classified under 760711 or 760719, while aluminum alloy foil is classified under 760720. The difference lies in whether the material contains other alloying elements such as manganese, magnesium, etc. When declaring, the composition content must be provided. Under which code is aluminum foil with a thickness of exactly 0.2 mm classified? Aluminum foil with a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm (including 0.2 mm) is classified under 7607, and the specific subheading is determined according to the material and processing state. If it is non-alloy and not further worked, it is classified under 760711. Is annealed non-alloy aluminum foil still classified under 760711? Annealing is a heat treatment and does not change the essential character of aluminum foil, and is generally not regarded as "further working"; therefore, it can still be classified under 760711. However, if after annealing it is coated, printed, etc., it is classified under 760719. How is aluminum foil classified after being combined with paper backing? If, after aluminum foil is combined with paper, the aluminum foil serves only for reinforcement or decoration and the paper constitutes the essential character, it is classified under Chapter 48; if the aluminum foil constitutes the essential character, it remains classified under 7607. Judgment should be made based on the use and characteristics of the composite material. How should the "State" column be filled in when declaring? It should indicate whether it has been further worked, such as "not further worked", "rolled", "annealed", etc. If it has been coated, printed, backed, etc., this must be clearly stated so as to classify it correctly. Can aluminum foil under 760711 be used for food packaging? Yes, but it must comply with the safety standards for food-contact materials. In terms of classification, if the aluminum foil is not further worked and is non-alloy, it is still classified under 760711; if it has been treated such as coated, it is classified under 760719. If the thickness of aluminum foil exceeds 0.2 mm, under which code should it be classified? Aluminum plates, sheets and strip with a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm should be classified under 7606, and the specific subheading is further divided according to thickness, shape, etc. For example, aluminum coils with a thickness greater than 0.2 mm are classified under 7606.11, etc.
