7607.11.90.60 - Lid stock 🖩

This HTS category, 7607.11.90.60, specifically covers "lid stock" made from aluminum foil that is rolled but not further worked. This material is characterized by its specific application in the manufacture of lids for containers, such as those found on cans, jars, or tubs. The foil is typically of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm, excluding any backing material, and it falls under the broader classification of unbacked, rolled aluminum foil.

It is crucial to distinguish "lid stock" from its sibling category, "body stock" (HTS 7607.11.90.30). While both are unbacked, rolled aluminum foil intended for can production, body stock is specifically designed for the cylindrical sides of cans. Lid stock, on the other hand, is manufactured with particular specifications and tolerances suitable for forming the tops and bottoms of containers, which often involve different stamping or sealing requirements than the body material.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the precise identification of the aluminum foil as "lid stock" based on its intended end-use and manufacturing characteristics. This designation differentiates it from other forms of unbacked, rolled aluminum foil that may not meet the specific requirements for lid production.
