7604.10.30.00 - Having a round cross section

This HTS classification covers aluminum bars and rods that are not alloyed and possess a distinctly round cross-section. These items are manufactured from pure aluminum, meaning they contain less than 2% by weight of any other element, and are presented in a cylindrical shape, rather than other geometric profiles. Examples include solid aluminum rods used in machining, electrical grounding rods, or decorative elements where a round form is specified.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7604.10.50.00, is crucial for accurate classification. While both fall under "Of aluminum, not alloyed: Bars and rods," this specific code is exclusively for those with a round cross-section. The sibling category, "Other," would encompass all other non-alloyed aluminum bars and rods that do not have a round profile, such as those with square, hexagonal, or other geometric shapes.

As this node is a leaf in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within 7604.10.30.00 is therefore determined solely by the material (unalloyed aluminum) and the cross-sectional shape (round) of the bars and rods.
