About aluminium; articles n.e.c. in chapter 76

HS code 7616 covers a diverse range of aluminum articles not elsewhere classified in Chapter 76 of the Harmonized System. This industry plays a vital role in the global manufacturing landscape, providing essential components and products for a wide array of industries, from construction and transportation to consumer goods and electronics. The versatility and durability of aluminum make it a highly sought-after material, contributing to the industry's significant economic impact.

Production process

The production of articles under HS code 7616 typically involves a range of metalworking techniques, such as casting, extrusion, stamping, and machining. Manufacturers may also employ advanced processes like anodizing, powder coating, or welding to enhance the final products' appearance, corrosion resistance, or structural integrity.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7616 articles include primary aluminum, scrap aluminum, and various alloying elements like copper, magnesium, or silicon. Additionally, manufacturers rely on specialized machinery, such as casting equipment, rolling mills, and CNC machines, as well as a skilled workforce to operate these tools effectively.

Production outputs

The diverse range of articles covered under HS code 7616 includes a wide variety of aluminum products, such as 7616 Aluminium structures and parts of structures, 7616 Aluminium reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, and 7616 Aluminium casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers. These outputs are often consumed by industries like 7308 Structures and parts of structures, 8418 Refrigerators, freezers and other refrigerating or freezing equipment, and 8424 Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders, among others.
