About aluminium; articles n.e.c. in chapter 76
HS code 7616 covers a diverse range of aluminum articles not elsewhere classified in Chapter 76 of the Harmonized System. This industry plays a vital role in the global economy, providing essential components and products for a wide array of industries, from construction and transportation to consumer goods and electronics. Aluminum's unique properties, such as its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and recyclability, make it a highly versatile material that is in high demand across various sectors.
Production process
The production of articles under HS code 7616 typically involves a range of metalworking techniques, including casting, extrusion, stamping, and fabrication. Manufacturers may use specialized machinery and equipment to shape, form, and assemble the aluminum components, often employing advanced automation and precision engineering to ensure consistent quality and efficiency.
Production inputs
The primary input for the production of HS code 7616 articles is aluminum, which can be sourced from primary smelting operations or recycled from scrap. Manufacturers may also require various tools, dies, and molds, as well as energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, to power their production facilities. Depending on the specific product, additional inputs may include fasteners, coatings, or other materials to enhance the functionality or appearance of the final product.
Production outputs
The diverse range of articles covered under HS code 7616 includes a wide variety of aluminum products, such as ladders, scaffolding, fittings, mountings, and other miscellaneous aluminum articles. These outputs are often consumed by industries like 7308 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, 8302 Base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets or the like; base metal hat-racks, hat-pegs, brackets and similar fixtures; castors with mountings of base metal, and 9403 Furniture and parts thereof.
