7607 11 11 — Aluminium foil, not backed, rolled but not further worked, of a thickness of < 0.021 mm, in rolls of a weight of <= 10 kg (excl. stamping foils of heading 3212, and foil made up as christmas tree decorating material)

7607 Aluminum foil (without a base or based on paper, cardboard, plastic or similar materials) with a thickness (not counting the base) of not more than 0.2 mm (+): - without a base: 7607 11 - rolled, but without further processing 7607 19 - - - other 7607 20 - with a base

This heading covers the products defined in Note 1 (d) to this Chapter, when their thickness does not exceed 0.2 mm. The provisions of the Explanatory Note to heading 7410 concerning copper foil apply, mutatis mutandis, to this heading. Aluminium foil is used in the manufacture of bottle caps and capsules, for packing foodstuffs, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, etc. Aluminium foil is also used for the preparation of the fine powders of heading 7603, in corrugated sheets for thermal insulation, for imitation silvering and as a dressing material in veterinary medicine. The heading excludes: (a) Stamping foils (also known as blocking foils), composed of aluminium powder agglomerated with gelatin, glue or other binder, or of aluminium deposited on paper, plastics or other support, and used for printing book covers, hat bands, etc. (heading 3212). (b) Paper and paperboard for making cartons for milk, fruit juice or other food products, lined with aluminium foil (on the side which will later form the inside surfaces of the cartons), provided they retain the essential character of paper or paperboard (heading 4811). (c) Printed labels and tags of aluminium foil, identifiable as specific printed matter (heading 4911). (d) Plates, sheets and strip or bands of a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm (heading 7606). (e) Foil in the form of New Year and Christmas tree decorations (heading 9505). Subheading Explanatory Note. Subheading 7607 11 In addition to cold or hot rolling, the products of this subheading may be subjected to the following treatments: (1) Heat treatment, such as stress relieving or annealing. This treatment also removes the lubricant remaining after rolling. (2) Trimming, slitting into strips or cutting to rectangular (including square) shape, i.e., dividing a wide strip into narrow strips. (3) Separation (unwinding) of thin multi-layer laminated sheets. This operation is necessary when two or more coils of foil are rolled simultaneously at the final rolling stage. (4) Chemical cleaning or washing, which is normally carried out to remove residual lubricant if heat treatment is not envisaged.

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.
