What Importers Need to Know About HTS Chapter 76
This subheading falls under an HTS chapter covering aluminum and aluminum articles including unwrought aluminum, bars, rods, profiles, wire, plates, sheets, foil, tubes, and castings. Importers of these products should be aware of the following trade compliance considerations:
Aluminum products face Section 232 (10%) + potential ADD/CVD for Chinese-origin products (up to 169% for extrusions). USMCA melt-and-pour rule applies. Verify transshipment risk — CBP EAPA investigations target aluminum routed through Vietnam, Malaysia.
For the specific subheading HTS 760511, we recommend you:
- Verify the correct 10-digit statistical suffix — even within a 6-digit subheading, duty rates can differ significantly between suffixes
- Check FTA eligibility — if your product qualifies for preferential treatment under USMCA, KORUS, or another FTA, you may reduce or eliminate duties by providing the required origin certification
- Monitor for trade remedy changes — Section 301, Section 232, and anti-dumping duties are updated periodically. A rate that was correct last quarter may have changed
- Consult CBP resources — for binding classification rulings, CBP's National Commodity Specialist Division provides written determinations
Frequently Asked Questions About HTS 760511
What is the import duty rate for products under HTS 760511?
Duty rates for HTS 760511 vary by the specific 8- or 10-digit statistical suffix and the country of origin. Suffix 7605.11.00.00 has a General rate of 2.6% with Special (FTA) rates available: Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG). Always verify the exact duty rate with US Customs and Border Protection before importing, as rates may change and additional trade remedies (Section 301, Section 232, anti-dumping) may apply depending on the country of origin.
Can I get duty-free treatment for goods classified under HTS 760511?
While the General rate for this heading is not zero, many products qualify for duty-free or reduced-rate treatment under Free Trade Agreements (USMCA, KORUS, and others) if they meet the applicable rules of origin. Check the Special rate column for your specific country of origin. You must provide origin certification to claim FTA preferences.
How do I know if I am using the correct HTS classification?
The correct HTS classification depends on the specific product's composition, function, and in some cases its country of origin. For binding certainty, you can request a written ruling from CBP's National Commodity Specialist Division. Misclassification can result in retroactive duties, penalties under 19 USC §1592, and interest on underpaid amounts. For products classified under heading 760511, the key classification factors include the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), Section Notes, and Chapter Notes. When in doubt, consult a licensed customs broker.
HTS Chapter 76 Classification Guide: Aluminum and Articles Thereof
Chapter 76 covers aluminum from unwrought metal through semi-finished products (bars, rods, profiles, wire, plates, sheets, foil) to finished articles (tubes, fittings, castings, structures). Classification follows the product form hierarchy. Aluminum extrusions (7604) are one of the most ADD-impacted product categories in the entire HTS.
Common Misclassification Errors
- Failing to account for both Section 232 (10%) and ADD/CVD (up to 169% for Chinese extrusions) — the combined effective rate can exceed 170%
- Confusing aluminum foil (7607) with aluminum sheet (7606) — thickness determines the subheading, and duty rates differ
- Not checking for transshipment risk — CBP EAPA investigations target aluminum routed through Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand to evade duties
Duty Calculation Tips for HTS 760511
Aluminum faces Section 232 (10%) plus potential ADD/CVD for Chinese-origin products. Chinese extrusions (7604) face the highest combined rates. The USMCA melt-and-pour rule applies to aluminum. Verify country of origin carefully — CBP EAPA investigations have found aluminum transshipped through Southeast Asia. Consider sourcing from Canada, EU, or Middle East for lower total duty burden.
Chapter 76 Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Section 232 tariff rate on aluminum?
Section 232 imposes a 10% additional duty on most aluminum products under Chapter 76, effective since 2018. Country exemptions include Australia, Argentina (unlimited), and Canada/Mexico (USMCA). Unlike steel, aluminum has no country-specific quota arrangements — countries are either fully exempt or fully subject.
How high are anti-dumping duties on Chinese aluminum?
Chinese aluminum extrusions (7604.21-7604.29) face ADD rates of 33.28% (China-wide rate) plus Section 232 (10%), for a combined effective rate of approximately 43%. Company-specific rates vary. Other aluminum products may also face ADD — check Commerce Department orders for your specific product.
What is the USMCA melt-and-pour rule for aluminum?
Under USMCA, aluminum must be 'melted and poured' (smelted and cast) in a USMCA country to qualify for preferential rates. Simply extruding or fabricating imported aluminum ingots in Mexico or Canada does NOT confer USMCA origin. This is strictly enforced by CBP.
What is EAPA and how does it affect aluminum imports?
The Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) authorizes CBP to investigate allegations of tariff evasion, including transshipment of Chinese aluminum through third countries. CBP has found aluminum routed through Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand to evade ADD/CVD and Section 232 duties. Penalties include retroactive duties and debarment.
Are aluminum cans and packaging subject to Section 232?
Most aluminum cans and packaging materials under Chapter 76 are subject to Section 232 (10% additional duty) unless specifically excluded or from an exempt country. However, finished aluminum beverage cans may fall under Chapter 73 if they are classified as containers. Check the specific HTS subheading.
