Chapter 76 covers aluminum and articles thereof, including unwrought aluminum, aluminum products (bars, rods, profiles, wire, plates, sheets, strip, foil), aluminum tubes, aluminum structures, aluminum containers, aluminum stranded wire, cables, etc. This chapter does not cover aluminum machines, mechanical appliances or electrical equipment (Chapter 84, Chapter 85), nor does it cover aluminum vehicles, aircraft parts (Chapters 86-88), or aluminum furniture (Chapter 94). Aluminum doors and windows and their frames belong to aluminum structures for construction, and are therefore classified in this chapter. Heading 7610 covers aluminum doors and windows and their frames, thresholds, as well as accessories for aluminum doors and windows (such as hinges, handles, locks, etc.) if presented together with the doors and windows. This heading mainly includes aluminum doors and windows, French windows, blinds, thresholds, door frames, window frames, etc., used for buildings or similar structures. However, if glass or hardware for aluminum doors and windows is presented separately, it should be classified separately. In addition, if aluminum curtain walls have the function of doors and windows, they are also classified under this heading. Code 761010 is a 6-digit subheading. The first 2 digits 76 represent Chapter 76 (aluminum and articles thereof), indicating that the material of the goods is aluminum. Digits 3-4, 10, represent heading 7610, specifically aluminum doors and windows and their frames, thresholds, describing the type of goods as door and window structural components for construction. Digits 5-6, 10, represent subheading 761010, which is a subheading under heading 7610. Currently, in the HS code, this subheading is not further subdivided, meaning all aluminum doors and windows and their frames, thresholds are classified under this subheading. Therefore, 761010 fully represents aluminum doors and windows and their frames, thresholds. The goods are aluminum doors and windows and their frames, thresholds, belonging to aluminum building structural components, rather than aluminum profiles (7604) or other aluminum structures (other subheadings under 7610 such as 761090). Because doors and windows have specific functions, and heading 7610 explicitly lists "doors and windows and their frames, thresholds," they are classified under 761010. If parts of aluminum doors and windows are presented separately, they may be classified under 761090 or other relevant headings.

📝 Declaration Elements
Product name: The specific name of the declared goods, such as "aluminum alloy doors and windows," "aluminum door frames," etc., which must be consistent with the actual goods. Material: Explain the type of aluminum, such as aluminum alloy grade (6063, 6061, etc.), and whether surface treatment has been applied (anodizing, electrophoretic coating, etc.). Type: Specify whether it is a door, window, door frame, window frame, threshold, or complete set of doors and windows, and whether glass and hardware are included. Specifications and dimensions: Declare the length, width, height, thickness, and other dimensions of the doors and windows, as well as the cross-sectional dimensions of the profiles. Use: Explain whether used for buildings, vehicles, ships, etc., usually doors and windows for construction. Brand: Declare the brand name (if no brand, declare "no brand"), and the model. Processing method: Explain whether it is extrusion, welding, assembly, etc., and whether further processing has been carried out. Product name: aluminum alloy doors and windows; Material: aluminum alloy 6063, anodized; Type: complete set of doors and windows (including glass and hardware); Specifications and dimensions: 2000mm x 1500mm, profile thickness 1.4mm; Use: for construction; Brand: XX brand; Model: MC-2020; Processing method: assembled after extrusion. Confusing aluminum doors and windows with aluminum profiles, failing to declare the assembly status of doors and windows. Failing to declare whether glass is included; if glass is included, it may affect classification. Untrue declaration of brand and model, leading customs to question classification.
Product name
The specific name of the declared goods, such as "aluminum alloy doors and windows," "aluminum door frames," etc., which must be consistent with the actual goods.
⚠️ Declaring generally as "aluminum products" or "aluminum profiles," without reflecting the characteristics of doors and windows.
Material
Explain the type of aluminum, such as aluminum alloy grade (6063, 6061, etc.), and whether surface treatment has been applied (anodizing, electrophoretic coating, etc.).
⚠️ Only declaring "aluminum," without providing alloy grade or treatment method.
Type
Specify whether it is a door, window, door frame, window frame, threshold, or complete set of doors and windows, and whether glass and hardware are included.
⚠️ Declaring doors and windows separately from glass, but they are actually imported as a whole.
Specifications and dimensions
Declare the length, width, height, thickness, and other dimensions of the doors and windows, as well as the cross-sectional dimensions of the profiles.
⚠️ Failing to provide dimensions, making it impossible to determine whether they are doors and windows.
Use
Explain whether used for buildings, vehicles, ships, etc., usually doors and windows for construction.
⚠️ Declaring the use as "industrial," but they are actually building doors and windows.
Brand
Declare the brand name (if no brand, declare "no brand"), and the model.
⚠️ Omitting the brand or model, affecting classification.
Processing method
Explain whether it is extrusion, welding, assembly, etc., and whether further processing has been carried out.
⚠️ Failing to state whether assembled, leading to confusion with aluminum profiles.
Example： Product name: aluminum alloy doors and windows; Material: aluminum alloy 6063, anodized; Type: complete set of doors and windows (including glass and hardware); Specifications and dimensions: 2000mm x 1500mm, profile thickness 1.4mm; Use: for construction; Brand: XX brand; Model: MC-2020; Processing method: assembled after extrusion.
Common Mistakes：
Confusing aluminum doors and windows with aluminum profiles, failing to declare the assembly status of doors and windows.
Failing to declare whether glass is included; if glass is included, it may affect classification.
Untrue declaration of brand and model, leading customs to question classification.
🎯 Classification Logic
The core basis for classification is whether the goods are aluminum doors and windows and their frames, thresholds, and whether they meet the description of heading 7610. Consideration must be given to the material (aluminum), function (doors and windows), structure (frames, thresholds), and whether assembled. If they are parts of aluminum doors and windows presented separately, they may be classified under 761090 or other headings. If they are aluminum profiles not processed into doors and windows, they are classified under 7604. If they are aluminum doors and windows with glass, and the glass is presented together with the doors and windows, they are still classified under 761010; if the glass is presented separately, it is classified under 7005 or 7006, etc. 7604 Aluminum profiles: 7604 is aluminum bars, rods, profiles, not processed into doors and windows; 761010 is processed into doors and windows and their frames, with specific functions. 761090 Other aluminum structures: 761090 covers other aluminum structures, such as bridges, towers, etc.; 761010 specifically refers to doors and windows and their frames, thresholds. 761100 Aluminum containers: 761100 is aluminum containers for storage, unrelated to doors and windows. 7005 Float glass: 7005 is glass plates; if doors and windows with glass are presented together, classify under 761010; if glass is presented separately, classify under 7005. Is it made of aluminum? Is it a door or window or its frame, threshold? Has it been assembled into a door or window? Does it include glass or hardware? Are parts presented separately?
