HTS heading 7606 is a four-digit product category for flat-rolled aluminum plates, sheets, and strip that are more than 0.2 mm thick. It groups products by their physical form and basic material characteristics; it is not a single finished-product code or duty rate. The goods may be supplied in rolls or as flat pieces, depending on the applicable tariff description.
To narrow heading 7606 to an eight-digit HTSUS number, compare the product’s specifications with the lower-level provisions in the current tariff schedule. Important distinctions can include whether the aluminum is alloyed or nonalloyed, the product’s dimensions and shape, and any stated type, temper, or other technical characteristic. The correct choice depends on the exact wording of the subheading and the product’s documented composition and construction.
What to check
- Confirm that the item is aluminum plate, sheet, or strip and that its thickness exceeds 0.2 mm; do not assume a similar-looking foil or article belongs here.
- Measure and document thickness, width, and length, and note whether the material is supplied in coils or cut lengths.
- Obtain the mill specification or certificate showing the aluminum grade, alloy or nonalloy status, and temper or treatment when relevant.
- Compare every applicable eight-digit description in the current HTSUS, rather than selecting a code based only on the product name or a supplier’s code.
- Ask a customs broker or request a formal classification ruling when the alloy, dimensions, processing, or intended form makes the classification uncertain.

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.
