7601.10.60 - Other

This HTS category, 7601.10.60, encompasses "Other" unwrought aluminum that is not alloyed. This primarily includes aluminum in its primary metallic form, prior to further processing into finished or semi-finished goods. Unlike its sibling category, 7601.10.30.00, which specifically covers unwrought aluminum of uniform cross-section not exceeding 9.5 mm in its least dimension and presented in coils, this category applies to unwrought aluminum that does not meet those specific physical and presentation criteria.

The distinction between different types of non-alloyed unwrought aluminum is crucial for accurate classification. Therefore, this category is further subdivided based on the purity of the aluminum. The subcategories available are: 7601.10.60.40 for aluminum of 99.9 percent purity or greater, and 7601.10.60.45 for aluminum with a purity greater than 99.8 percent but less than 99.9 percent.

The existence of these subcategories highlights the importance of the material's composition in determining its tariff treatment. The final subcategory, 7601.10.60.90, serves as a residual category for non-alloyed unwrought aluminum that does not fall into the precisely defined purity levels of the preceding subcategories, ensuring comprehensive coverage within this classification group.
