7601 10 00 — Unwrought aluminium: aluminium, not alloyed
Unwrought aluminium: aluminium, not alloyed
Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

7601 Untreated Aluminum: 7601 10 – Unalloyed Aluminum 7601 20 – Aluminum Alloys
This heading covers untreated aluminium in liquid form, in blocks, ingots, rolling blanks, slabs, grooves, wire workpieces or similar forms obtained by casting electrolytic aluminium or by melting metal waste or scrap. These goods are mainly intended for rolling, forging, drawing, extrusion, stamping or for melting and for pouring into shaped products.
This heading covers aluminium pellets which are mainly used in metallurgy (as a deoxidizer, especially in the manufacture of ferrous metals). This heading also covers certain cast or sintered rods, etc. (see the HS Explanatory Note to heading 7403, which apply, mutatis mutandis, to this heading). This heading excludes aluminum powders and scales (heading 7603).

1. The terms used in this chapter mean:
(a) "non-alloy aluminum" means a metal containing at least 99 % by weight of aluminium, provided that the mass content of each of the other elements does not exceed the limits specified in the following table:
Other elements
Element
Maximum content, wt.%
Fe+Si
(iron plus silicon)
1.0
Other elements (each of them)
0.1
Other elements include, for example, Cr, Cu, Mg, Mn, Ni, Zn.
Copper content is allowed in quantities greater than 0.1 wt.%, but not more than 0.2 wt.%, provided that the content of chromium or manganese is not more than 0.05 wt.%.
(b) "aluminum alloys" means metal alloys in which the aluminium content by mass exceeds that of each of the other elements contained in the alloy, provided that:
(i) the mass content of at least one of the other elements or iron and silicon taken together will exceed the mass limit indicated in the table; or
(ii) the total content of other elements is more than 1% by weight.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of note 9 (c) to section XV, for the purposes of subheading 7616 91, the term “wire” means only articles rolled up or not rolled into coves and with any shape of cross-section not exceeding 6 mm.

1. In subheading 7601 20 200, the following terms mean:
- "slabs" - raw products having a continuous cross-section throughout the length in the form of rectangles or other polygons, with a width of more than 800 mm, a thickness of more than 280 mm and a length always exceeding the width and thickness. These products are intended for rolling;
- "tickets" - raw products having a continuous cross-section in the form of circles (including "flattened circles"), with a diameter of more than 125 mm. These products are designed for extruding.
