7607.11.90 - Other

This category encompasses aluminum foil that is not backed with other materials, rolled but not further worked, and exceeds 0.15 mm in thickness but does not exceed 0.2 mm. This means it includes relatively thicker aluminum foil, used in various industrial applications where a certain gauge is required. The "not backed" aspect is crucial, distinguishing it from foil that has paper, plastic, or similar materials adhered to it for added strength or functionality.

The primary distinguishing factor from its sibling category, "Of a thickness not exceeding 0.15 mm," lies solely in the precise thickness measurement. While both are unbacked and rolled aluminum foil, this classification is for material that is definitively thicker than 0.15 mm, but still within the 0.2 mm limit. This distinction is important for duty rates and trade statistics, reflecting the different material quantities and potential end-uses.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist. The subcategory "Aluminum can stock" refers to foil specifically manufactured for the production of aluminum beverage cans, often characterized by specific temper, surface finish, and dimensional tolerances. The residual "Other" subcategory (7607.11.90.90) captures any aluminum foil meeting the parent criteria that does not fall under the specific designation of can stock, providing a catch-all for other specialized applications of this thickness range.
