Aluminium; cloth, grill, netting and fencing, of aluminium wire

HS code 761691 covers a range of aluminium products, including cloth, grill, netting, and fencing made from aluminium wire. These items have a wide variety of applications across industries, from construction and infrastructure to agriculture and transportation. As a versatile and durable material, aluminium plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting the development of essential goods and services.

The production of aluminium cloth, grill, netting, and fencing typically involves several key steps. First, aluminium wire is produced through a process of smelting and extrusion. The wire is then woven or fabricated into the desired shapes and patterns, often using automated machinery. Depending on the specific product, additional finishing processes, such as coating or anodizing, may be applied to enhance the material's properties and appearance.

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 761691 items include raw aluminium, which is typically sourced from 760110 Aluminium, not alloyed, unwrought or 760120 Aluminium, alloyed, unwrought classifications. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as wire-drawing machines and weaving/fabrication tools, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

The primary outputs of HS code 761691 are aluminium cloth, grill, netting, and fencing products. These items are widely used in various industries, including 730820 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, e.g. bridges and bridge-sections, lock-gates, towers, lattice masts, roofs, roofing frameworks, doors and windows and their frames and thresholds for doors, shutters, balustrades, pillars and columns; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, of iron or steel, 730900 (Reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), of iron or steel, of a capacity exceeding 300 l, whether or not lined or heat-insulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment), and 940600 Prefabricated buildings.
