How to qualify aluminium sheet importers: HS 7606 and alloy specifications

Start aluminium sheet research with HS 7606 and terms such as aluminium sheet or aluminum plate, then check thickness, alloy, temper, dimensions and application. HS 7606 covers aluminium plates, sheets and strip exceeding 0.2 mm in thickness; foil and profiles need separate research.

Record alloy, temper and product form

Build a checklist for alloy series, temper, thickness, surface treatment and coil versus plate form. Descriptions may use sheet, plate and strip inconsistently, so verify dimensions. Keep aluminium foil and extruded profiles out of the same prospect list.

Match the application to the company's business

Check official websites for construction, automotive, packaging or processing activities. A common HS prefix can include different uses and grades. One import record does not establish that the buyer accepts your alloy or thickness.

Compare consistent units and dates

Use a common date range and weight unit, and retain evidence of repeat purchases. Missing values are not zero. Avoid averaging declared unit values across different alloys, tempers and transaction conditions. Trial whether the target market returns records matching your specifications.

Common questions

How does HS 7606 differ from aluminium foil?

7606 concerns plates, sheets and strip exceeding 0.2 mm in thickness. Check the applicable tariff, thickness and processing state for the particular product.
