Aluminium; foil, (not backed), of a thickness not exceeding 0.2mm, not rolled

HS v2022 Code: 760719

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

HS code 760719 covers the import and export of aluminium foil that is not backed and has a thickness of 0.2mm or less, but is not rolled. This type of aluminium foil is widely used in various industries, including packaging, insulation, and electronics. It is a crucial component in the global supply chain, enabling the efficient transportation and preservation of a wide range of products.

Production process

The production of aluminium foil under HS code 760719 typically involves a process called 'continuous casting'. In this method, molten aluminium is poured onto a rotating metal wheel, which rapidly cools the metal and creates a thin, continuous sheet of aluminium. This sheet is then further processed through a series of rolling and annealing steps to achieve the desired thickness and properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium foil under HS code 760719 include high-purity aluminium ingots or billets, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the casting, rolling, and finishing processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are essential for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 760719 is aluminium foil that meets the specified thickness and backing requirements. This foil is then used as a raw material or component in a wide range of industries, including 760720 (Aluminium foil, backed, of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.2 mm), 760711 (Aluminium foil, (not backed), rolled, of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm), and 760720 (Aluminium foil, backed, of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.2 mm).
