Aluminium; plates, sheets and strip, thickness exceeding 0.2mm, not alloyed, (not rectangular or square)

HS code 760691 covers the import and export of non-alloyed aluminium plates, sheets, and strips that exceed 0.2mm in thickness, but are not rectangular or square in shape. This industry plays a crucial role in the global metal manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications, from transportation to building infrastructure.

The production of aluminium plates, sheets, and strips under HS code 760691 typically involves a multi-step process. First, pure aluminium is melted and cast into ingots or billets. These are then rolled or extruded to the desired thickness and shape, often using specialized machinery. The resulting products may undergo further processing, such as annealing or surface treatment, to enhance their properties and meet specific customer requirements.

The main inputs for the production of aluminium plates, sheets, and strips under HS code 760691 include pure aluminium, as well as various equipment and machinery for melting, casting, rolling, and finishing the products. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are required to power the manufacturing processes. 760110 Aluminium; not alloyed, unwrought and 760120 Aluminium; alloyed, unwrought are two key raw material inputs for this industry.

The aluminium plates, sheets, and strips produced under HS code 760691 are primarily used as inputs for a wide range of industries, including 761010 Aluminium; structures and parts of structures, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, 761090 Aluminium; structures and parts of structures, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, nes, and 761100 (Aluminium; reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity exceeding 300l, whether or not lined or heat-insulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment).
