About aluminium; structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading no. 9406) and parts (e.g. bridges and sections, towers, lattice masts, etc) plates, rods, profiles and tubes for structures

HS code 7610 covers a diverse range of aluminium-based structural components and parts used in various construction and engineering applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the global infrastructure and building sectors, providing essential materials for the fabrication of bridges, towers, masts, and other large-scale structures. The versatility and durability of aluminium make it a preferred choice for these applications, contributing to the industry's significance within the broader economy.

Production process

The production of aluminium structures and parts under HS code 7610 typically involves a combination of extrusion, casting, and fabrication techniques. Aluminium ingots or billets are first heated and then forced through a die to create the desired profiles, such as plates, rods, and tubes. These semi-finished products are then further processed, which may include cutting, bending, welding, and assembly, to create the final structural components and parts.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7610 items include aluminium raw materials, such as 7601 Aluminium; unwrought and 7604 Aluminium; bars, rods and profiles, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for extrusion, casting, and fabrication. Additionally, the industry relies on various tools, consumables, and energy sources to support the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 7610 industry are aluminium structures, parts, and components used in a wide range of construction and engineering projects. These products may be consumed by industries such as 8401 (Nuclear reactors; fuel elements (cartridges), non-irradiated, for nuclear reactors), 8502 Electric generating sets and rotary converters, and 8903 Yachts and other vessels for pleasure or sports; rowing boats and canoes, among others, where their strength, durability, and lightweight properties are highly valued.
