7606.12.30.96 - Other

This HTS classification, 7606.12.30.96, specifically designates "Other" aluminum plates, sheets, and strip that meet the preceding criteria. These are rectangular (including square) articles of aluminum alloys, not clad, and not of a thickness exceeding 6.3 mm. The "Other" designation indicates that these products do not fall into the more specific subcategories defined within the 7606.12.30 level.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its residual nature. Unlike the sibling category 7606.12.30.91, which is reserved for heat-treatable industrial alloys as described in the relevant statistical note, this classification captures all other qualifying rectangular aluminum plates, sheets, and strips that do not meet that specific alloy type. Classification here hinges on the absence of the defining characteristics of its sibling.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the practical application of this classification requires a thorough understanding of the preceding headings and the explicit exclusions defined by its sibling. Importers and exporters should meticulously verify that their goods fit all the established criteria of the parent categories and do not qualify for any more specific subdivisions, particularly the heat-treatable industrial alloys outlined in the statistical note.
