Overview

This HTS category, 7606, encompasses aluminum in the form of plates, sheets, and strip, specifically where the thickness exceeds 0.2 millimeters. These are essentially flat, relatively thin, and continuous forms of aluminum metal, intended for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications. The key defining characteristic here is the minimum thickness requirement, differentiating these products from foils or other forms of aluminum that might be thinner.

Within the broader Section XV, which deals with base metals and their articles, Chapter 76 specifically focuses on aluminum and its manufactures. While other chapters might cover aluminum in raw forms (e.g., ingots) or as finished articles, 7606 deals with the semi-finished, flat mill products. Unlike sibling categories that might cover live animals, dairy products, or other vastly dissimilar goods, 7606's distinction lies solely within the realm of aluminum's physical form and thickness.

The subcategories within 7606 allow for further refinement based on the shape of the aluminum product. The first subcategory covers rectangular (including square) plates, sheets, and strip, implying a defined geometric shape. The "other" subcategory would then encompass any forms that do not fit the rectangular description, such as circular or irregularly shaped pieces, or perhaps rolls of strip that are not explicitly rectangular when unrolled and measured. This distinction is crucial for accurate inventory management and tariff application.
