Aluminium; foil, (not backed), rolled (but not further worked), of a thickness not exceeding 0.2mm

HS code 760711 covers the import and export of aluminium foil that is not backed, rolled, and has a thickness of 0.2mm or less. This type of aluminium foil is a versatile and widely used material in various industries, including packaging, insulation, and electronics. Its lightweight, malleable, and corrosion-resistant properties make it an essential component in many products consumed globally.

The production of aluminium foil under HS code 760711 involves a multi-step process. First, aluminium ingots or sheets are heated and rolled to the desired thickness, typically less than 0.2mm. The rolling process can be done through a series of rolling mills, which gradually reduce the thickness of the aluminium. The rolled foil is then cut to the desired size and shape, often using specialized cutting equipment. Finally, the aluminium foil may undergo additional processing, such as annealing or coiling, to improve its properties and prepare it for various applications.

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium foil under HS code 760711 include aluminium raw materials, such as ingots or sheets, as well as specialized rolling and cutting equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production process. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers and technicians, is crucial for the efficient and high-quality manufacturing of this aluminium foil.

The primary output of HS code 760711 is aluminium foil that is not backed, rolled, and has a thickness not exceeding 0.2mm. This type of aluminium foil is widely used in various industries, including 760720 (Aluminium; foil, (not backed), rolled (but not further worked), of a thickness exceeding 0.2mm but not exceeding 0.2mm), 760810 Aluminium; tubes and pipes, not alloyed, and 761010 Aluminium; structures and parts of structures, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like. The versatility of this aluminium foil allows it to be incorporated into a wide range of products, from food packaging to insulation materials.
