7607.20.50.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 7607.20.50.00, covers "Other" aluminum foil that is backed, and does not fall under the specific description of its sibling category. Specifically, it applies to aluminum foil, not exceeding 0.2 mm in thickness (excluding any backing material), which has been affixed to a backing material such as paper, paperboard, or plastics. This category encompasses all backed aluminum foil meeting these thickness requirements that are not otherwise specifically enumerated.

The primary distinction from the sibling category 7607.20.10.00, "Covered or decorated with a character, design, fancy effect or pattern," lies in the absence of such decorative or imprinted elements on the foil itself for this classification. While both are backed aluminum foils of the specified thickness, this category is for plain or uniformly colored backed foil without any applied patterns or designs.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, proper classification hinges on confirming that the goods are indeed backed aluminum foil not exceeding 0.2 mm in thickness and that they do not exhibit any decorative patterns or designs as described in the sibling category. Examples include plain aluminum foil laminated to Kraft paper for industrial insulation, or foil backed with plastic film for food packaging where the foil itself is not printed or decorated.
