About aluminium; plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, not alloyed, (not rectangular or square)

HS code 760691 covers the import and export of non-alloyed aluminium plates, sheets, and strips that exceed 0.2mm in thickness and are not rectangular or square in shape. This industry plays a crucial role in the global metal manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications, from building facades to automotive components.

Production process

The production of the aluminium products described by HS code 760691 typically involves a multi-step process. First, pure aluminium is extracted from bauxite ore through a process called electrolysis. The resulting aluminium is then cast into ingots or billets, which are subsequently rolled or extruded into the desired shapes and thicknesses. Finally, the aluminium plates, sheets, and strips are cut to the required dimensions, often using computer-controlled cutting machines.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the aluminium products covered by HS code 760691 include bauxite ore, electricity for the electrolysis process, and various types of machinery such as rolling mills, extruders, and cutting equipment. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metal processing and manufacturing techniques.

Production outputs

The aluminium plates, sheets, and strips produced under HS code 760691 are used in a wide range of industries, including 760692 Aluminium; plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, not alloyed, rectangular or square, 760711 Aluminium; foil, thickness not exceeding 0.2mm, not backed, not rolled, not alloyed, and 761010 Aluminium; structures and parts of structures, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures. These products are essential for the construction, automotive, and aerospace sectors, among others.
