Aluminium; alloys, wire, maximum cross-sectional dimension is 7mm or less

HS code 760529 covers the import and export of aluminium alloy wire with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 7mm or less. This type of aluminium wire is a crucial component in a wide range of industries, from electrical and electronics to construction and automotive. Its versatility and durability make it an essential material in the global economy, supporting the production of a diverse array of products and infrastructure.

The production of aluminium alloy wire under HS code 760529 typically involves a multi-step process. First, aluminium alloy ingots are melted and cast into billets or rods. These are then drawn through a series of dies to reduce the diameter and increase the length, creating the desired wire. Depending on the specific application, the wire may undergo additional treatments, such as annealing or coating, to enhance its properties and performance.

The primary inputs for the production of aluminium alloy wire under HS code 760529 are aluminium alloy ingots, which serve as the raw material. Additionally, the process requires specialized machinery, such as wire-drawing equipment, to shape and refine the wire. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for melting and processing the aluminium.

The main output of HS code 760529 is aluminium alloy wire, which is used in a variety of applications. This wire may be consumed by industries such as 854411 Winding wire, 853921 Electrical filament lamps, and 870829 (Parts and accessories of bodies (including cabs) for motor vehicles), among others. The versatility of this aluminium alloy wire makes it a valuable commodity in the global trade of materials and components.
