Aluminium and articles thereof

HS v2017 Code: 76

About aluminium and articles thereof

HS code 76 covers a wide range of aluminium products, from raw aluminium to finished articles. Aluminium is a versatile and lightweight metal with a wide range of applications across various industries, including construction, transportation, packaging, and consumer goods. As a key material in the global economy, the aluminium industry plays a crucial role in supporting economic growth and development worldwide.

Production process

The production of aluminium involves several key steps. First, bauxite ore is mined and refined to produce alumina, the raw material for aluminium smelting. The alumina is then smelted in an electrolytic process, where electric current is used to extract pure aluminium metal. The aluminium is then cast into ingots or sheets, which can be further processed into a variety of products, such as extrusions, foils, and castings.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the aluminium industry include bauxite ore, electricity, and various other raw materials and energy sources. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as smelters, rolling mills, and extrusion presses, are also essential for the production of aluminium products. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy, engineering, and manufacturing.

Production outputs

The aluminium industry produces a wide range of outputs, including 76 Aluminium and articles thereof, 76 Aluminium bars, rods and profiles, 76 Aluminium wire, 76 Aluminium plates, sheets and strip, and 76 Aluminium foil. These products are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 73 Articles of iron or steel, 84 Machinery and mechanical appliances, and 85 Electrical machinery and equipment.
