HS-4 · Heading

7607 — Aluminium foil (whether or not printed or backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials) of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.2mm

Chapter 76: Aluminium and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7607 when importing aluminium foil that is not thicker than 0.2mm. For example, if you’re shipping rolls of unprinted aluminium foil for food packaging, this heading is relevant. It covers both backed and unbacked foil, but understanding the specifics of your product is crucial for correct classification.

When deciding between 760711 and 760719, consider the product's form. If your aluminium foil is rolled and not further processed, classify it under 760711. If it’s flat and not rolled, then 760719 is the correct choice. Both options apply to unbacked foil, but the physical state makes a difference.

For foil that has a backing, such as paper or plastic, you should use 760720. This classification includes any aluminium foil that is supported by other materials, which is essential for applications like insulation or decorative uses. Make sure to check the thickness and backing type to ensure proper classification.
