7601.20.90.60 - Other, containing 0.03 percent or more by weight of lead (secondary aluminum)

This classification pertains to unwrought aluminum alloys that do not fit into more specific categories within HTS 7601.20.90. A key characteristic is that these alloys contain 0.03 percent or more by weight of lead, identifying them as secondary aluminum. Secondary aluminum is typically produced from recycled aluminum scrap and is often used in various industrial applications where its specific alloy composition, including the presence of lead, is crucial.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 7601.20.90.45, lies in the physical form and specific attributes. While 7601.20.90.45 is reserved for unwrought aluminum alloys of uniform circular cross-section, such as billets, that are not in coils, this category covers all other unwrought aluminum alloys that meet the specified lead content criteria and do not conform to that precise physical description. Therefore, this classification captures a broader range of secondary aluminum alloy forms, including ingots, sows, or other shapes not specifically defined elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification into this category relies on confirming the material is unwrought aluminum alloy, the presence of lead at 0.03 percent or more by weight, and that it does not meet the criteria for more specific subheadings. This ensures that secondary aluminum with lead content, when not falling into precisely defined physical forms, is correctly classified.
