7602Aluminium; waste and scrap

Chapter 76: Aluminium and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7602 when importing aluminium waste and scrap, such as used beverage cans or production offcuts. These materials are often recycled and reused in various manufacturing processes.

When determining the correct classification, consider whether the aluminium is clean scrap or mixed with other materials. For instance, HS-6 760200 specifically covers all types of aluminium waste and scrap, so ensure your shipment aligns with this definition.

If your shipment includes aluminium that has been processed or contaminated with other metals, you may need to look at different classifications. This heading is focused solely on aluminium, so mixed scrap could lead to misclassification.

Be aware that import regulations may vary by country, and you should check national digits for specific requirements related to aluminium waste and scrap.
