HTS heading 7607 groups aluminum foil that is no more than 0.2 mm thick, measured without counting any paper, plastic, or other backing. The foil may be plain or printed, and it may be backed with materials such as paper, paperboard, plastics, or similar products. This is a broad 4-digit category, not usually the final classification used for entry.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the product is aluminum foil and that the foil itself meets the thickness limit. Then use the more detailed subheadings, which commonly distinguish the foil by characteristics such as whether it is backed or unbacked and the type or form of the product. The exact choice depends on the tariff text and the product’s physical specifications, so review the complete HTSUS description and any applicable legal notes.
What to check
- Measure the aluminum layer itself, excluding paper, plastic, adhesive, or other backing, and keep the supplier’s specifications.
- Confirm that the item is foil covered by heading 7607 rather than another aluminum product, such as sheet, plate, or a finished article.
- Determine whether the foil is backed, unbacked, printed, or otherwise treated, and identify the backing material when applicable.
- Compare the product’s exact construction and form with every available 8-digit subheading; do not classify from the marketing name alone.
- Keep product drawings, material specifications, thickness data, and sample images, and ask a customs broker or request an official classification decision if the distinctions are unclear.

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.
