About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 7616.99.51.70, specifically designates "Forgings" made from aluminum. Forgings are shaped by mechanical force, typically by hammering or pressing heated aluminum, which alters its crystalline structure to enhance strength and durability. This process distinguishes them from other forms of aluminum articles.

It's crucial to differentiate this category from its sibling, 7616.99.51.60, which covers "Castings." Castings are formed by pouring molten aluminum into a mold, resulting in a different internal structure and potentially different mechanical properties compared to forgings. Therefore, the method of manufacturing is the primary distinction between these two categories.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 7616.99.51.70. Classification within this code relies on confirming that the aluminum article in question has undergone a forging process. Examples might include forged aluminum wheels, forged wrenches, or forged components for automotive and aerospace industries where high strength and precision are paramount.
