7604.10.50.00 - Other

This HTS category, 7604.10.50.00, encompasses bars and rods of aluminum, not alloyed, that do not fall under the specific classification for those with a round cross-section. It serves as a residual category for non-alloyed aluminum bars and rods with cross-sectional shapes other than round, such as square, rectangular, hexagonal, or irregular profiles.

The key differentiator for this classification lies in its cross-sectional geometry. While sibling category 7604.10.30.00 specifically covers round bars and rods, this category applies to all other non-round profiles made from unalloyed aluminum. Both categories are situated under the broader heading for bars, rods, and profiles of aluminum, ensuring that the fundamental material and form factor (bar or rod) are consistent.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7604.10.50.00 is determined by the exclusion of round cross-sections. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the physical dimensions and cross-sectional shape of their non-alloyed aluminum bars and rods to ensure correct classification within the most specific applicable heading.
