7607.19.60.00 - Other

This HTS category, 7607.19.60.00, encompasses aluminum foil that is not backed by other materials and does not fall into the more specific "cut to shape" classification. It represents the residual classification for unbacked aluminum foil of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm, provided it is not otherwise specified or detailed in preceding subheadings. Examples of goods classified here include rolls of plain aluminum foil intended for general industrial or packaging uses, as well as sheets of unbacked aluminum foil that are not specifically shaped for a particular application.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 7607.19.30.00, which specifically covers aluminum foil that has been cut into a particular shape and has a thickness not exceeding 0.15 mm. Therefore, 7607.19.60.00 applies to unbacked aluminum foil that is not cut to shape and, importantly, has a thickness that may exceed 0.15 mm but does not surpass the 0.2 mm limit for aluminum foil. The key differentiator is the presence or absence of specific shaping, making this category a catch-all for plain, unbacked foil rolls or sheets within the specified thickness range.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 7607.19.60.00. Classification into this heading signifies that the product is definitively identified as unbacked aluminum foil within the specified thickness parameters and does not meet the criteria for any more specific provisions within Chapter 76. Importers and exporters should ensure all defining characteristics, particularly the absence of backing and the lack of specific shaping, are confirmed before assigning this HTS code.
