HS v2022 Code: 760711

About aluminium; foil, (not backed), rolled (but not further worked), of a thickness not exceeding 0.2mm

HS code 760711 covers the import and export of aluminium foil that is not backed, has been rolled (but not further processed), and has a thickness of 0.2mm or less. This type of aluminium foil is a versatile and widely-used material across various industries, including packaging, insulation, and electronics. Its lightweight, malleable, and corrosion-resistant properties make it an essential component in many products that are vital to the global economy.

Production process

The production of aluminium foil under HS code 760711 typically involves a multi-step process. First, pure aluminium is melted and cast into ingots or sheets. These are then repeatedly rolled and annealed to reduce the thickness and increase the surface area, ultimately achieving the desired thickness of 0.2mm or less. The rolling process can be done either hot or cold, depending on the specific requirements of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium foil under HS code 760711 include pure aluminium as the primary raw material, as well as specialized rolling and annealing equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of the industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 760711 is aluminium foil that meets the specified thickness requirements. This foil can be used in a wide range of applications, including 760720 (Aluminium; foil, (not backed), rolled (but not further worked), of a thickness exceeding 0.2mm but not exceeding 0.2mm), 760719 (Aluminium; foil, (not backed), rolled (but not further worked), of a thickness exceeding 0.2mm), and 760720 (Aluminium; foil, (not backed), rolled (but not further worked), of a thickness exceeding 0.2mm but not exceeding 0.2mm). The versatility of this material makes it an important input for industries such as packaging, insulation, and electronics.
