Over 200 countries use HS for 98% of world trade statistics.
- 6-digit codes for international uniformity
- Extended to 10 digits nationally
- Updated every 5 years; 2022 version applies in 2025
- No major WCO revisions until 2027
HS Code 760612: Rolled Aluminum Sheet Under 6.3mm Explained
**HS 760612 identifies rectangular rolled aluminum alloy plates, sheets, and strips over 0.2mm but under 6.3mm thick.**
This code falls under:
| Level | Code | Description |
|---|
| Chapter | 76 | Aluminum and articles thereof |
| Heading | 7606 | Plates, sheets, strip >0.2mm thick |
| Subheading | 760612 | Rectangular (incl. square), aluminum alloys, <6.3mm |
- Applies to alloys only (not pure aluminum: 760611)
- Thickness measured at any point
- Excludes foil (<0.2mm: 7607)
- 2025: Same as 2022 HS; national tariffs may vary
How Thickness Determines Rolled Aluminum Sheet HS Code
Thickness is key: under 6.3mm uses 760612; 6.3mm+ uses 76061110 or similar.**
- Measure thinnest point >0.2mm
- Alloy content > specified %
- No coil form (strips may differ)
- Verify rectangular shape
- Check 2025 country-specific rules
