HTS heading 7604 is a broad product category for aluminum bars, rods, and profiles. It generally covers aluminum products made by processes such as extrusion, drawing, or similar forming, where the item is supplied in a solid shape rather than as a flat sheet or plate. A “profile” is a shaped aluminum section with a consistent cross-section, such as an angle, channel, or frame section.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the heading and then follow the subheadings and statistical suffixes. The classification usually depends on the product’s physical form and aluminum type or alloy, including whether it is non-alloyed or an aluminum alloy. The exact dimensions, cross-sectional shape, manufacturing process, and any stated use may also matter. The 8-digit code is more specific than the 4-digit heading and must match the product as imported.
What to check
- Confirm that the item is a solid aluminum bar, rod, or profile, rather than sheet, plate, tube, wire, or a finished article classified elsewhere.
- Obtain the material specification, including the aluminum alloy or non-alloy designation, from the supplier or mill certificate.
- Record the product’s cross-sectional shape, dimensions, temper or condition, and manufacturing process; compare these details with the applicable HTSUS subheading descriptions.
- Review the current HTSUS provisions and relevant statistical suffixes, because similar-looking products can fall under different 8-digit codes.
- If the product has unusual construction, processing, or a primarily finished use, ask a customs broker or seek a formal classification ruling before importing.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
