Aluminium; (not alloyed), bars, rods and profiles

HS code 760410 covers the import and export of non-alloyed aluminium bars, rods, and profiles. Aluminium is a versatile and widely-used metal with a range of industrial and commercial applications. The 760410 category is an important part of the broader aluminium industry, which is a key component of many manufacturing and construction supply chains worldwide.

Aluminium bars, rods, and profiles under HS code 760410 are typically produced through extrusion. In this process, aluminium billets are heated and then forced through a die to create the desired cross-sectional shape. The extruded aluminium is then cooled, cut to length, and may undergo additional finishing processes such as anodizing or painting.

The main inputs for the production of 760410 aluminium products are primary aluminium, alloying elements such as silicon or magnesium, and energy for the extrusion process. Specialized extrusion machinery and tooling are also essential resources for this industry.

Aluminium bars, rods, and profiles classified under HS code 760410 are used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These include 760429 (Aluminium; (not alloyed), hollow profiles), 760511 (Aluminium; (not alloyed), wire), and 761010 (Aluminium; structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading 9406) and parts of structures (for example, bridges and bridge-sections, towers, lattice masts, roofs, roofing frameworks, doors and windows and their frames and thresholds for doors, balustrades, pillars and columns); aluminium plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures). The versatility of these aluminium products makes them essential components in construction, transportation, and various manufacturing industries.
