Aluminium; alloys, wire, maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 7mm

HS code 760521 covers the import and export of aluminium alloy wire with a maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 7mm. This type of aluminium wire is widely used in various industries, including construction, electrical, and transportation, due to its strength, conductivity, and corrosion resistance. As a key component in many essential products, the trade of aluminium alloy wire plays a significant role in the global economy.

The production of aluminium alloy wire with a cross-sectional dimension exceeding 7mm typically involves a multi-step process. First, the aluminium alloy is melted and cast into billets or ingots. These are then heated and extruded through a die to create the desired wire shape and size. The wire may undergo further drawing, annealing, and surface treatment processes to improve its mechanical properties and appearance.

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 760521 aluminium alloy wire include aluminium alloy raw materials, such as 760110 Aluminium, not alloyed, unwrought, 760120 Aluminium, alloyed, unwrought, and various alloying elements. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery, such as extrusion presses, drawing machines, and annealing furnaces, as well as energy sources and skilled labor.

The primary output of HS code 760521 is aluminium alloy wire with a maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 7mm. This wire is then consumed by various industries, including 853620 Automatic circuit breakers, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, 854430 Ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets of a kind used in vehicles, aircraft or ships, and 731210 Stranded wire, ropes and cables, of iron or steel, not electrically insulated.
