Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 76 covers aluminium and articles of aluminium. India is a major aluminium producer and exporter of primary metal, foil, sheet, extrusions, utensils and finished articles. Classification moves from unwrought aluminium and alloys through wire, plate, foil and tube to structures, containers and a wide range of finished aluminium goods.
How to read this code
76 is the two-digit HS chapter for aluminium and articles thereof. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many base metals & articles lines — check our import guides for your market.
