7607.11.60 - Of a thickness exceeding 0.01 mm

This HTS category, 7607.11.60, specifically covers aluminum foil that is rolled but not further worked, and is not backed with other materials. A key defining characteristic of this classification is its thickness, which must exceed 0.01 mm but not exceed 0.15 mm. This foil is derived from aluminum and is presented in a rolled form, implying it has undergone a rolling process to achieve its thinness, but has not been subjected to additional shaping, cutting, or finishing processes beyond the initial rolling.

The distinction between this subcategory and its sibling, 7607.11.30.00, lies precisely in the specified thickness. While both are unbacked, rolled aluminum foil, 7607.11.30.00 covers foil with a thickness not exceeding 0.01 mm. In contrast, 7607.11.60 is designated for foil that is thicker than 0.01 mm, but still within the 0.15 mm limit. This precise measurement is critical for correct classification.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to accommodate different packaging and presentation methods. The subcategories 7607.11.60.10 and 7607.11.60.90 distinguish between boxed aluminum foil weighing not more than 11.3 kg, and all other forms of this type of foil, respectively. These distinctions allow for more granular tracking and reporting of specific trade flows related to this type of unbacked, rolled aluminum foil.
