What specific correspondences link color-coated aluminum coils' material properties, specs, processing, surface treatment & HS codes?

Nov. 27, 2025

Detailed Correspondence Between Material Properties, Specifications, Processing Technology, Surface Treatment of Color-Coated Aluminum Coils and Their HS Codes

The HS code classification of color-coated aluminum coils mainly falls under Chapter 76 (Aluminum plates, sheets, strips, and foil, in coils). Specific codes are accurately matched based on differences in material properties, specifications, processing technology, and surface treatment. Below is a detailed breakdown by category:

1.Coated Aluminum Coil HS Codes by Material Properties

The base materials of color-coated aluminum coils include pure aluminum and aluminum alloy series, with distinct HS codes for each material type:

Material PropertyCommon AlloysCorresponding HS CodeExplanation
Pure Aluminum1100, 1050, 1060, etc.7606125100

Applicable to coil-shaped color-coated products made of pure aluminum (e.g., 1100 series color-coated aluminum coils).

Aluminum Alloy3003, 3004, 5052, etc.7606122000, 7606123000

-7606122000: Often used for 3003 series aluminum alloy color-coated coils (e.g., 0.21mm thickness × 1520mm width).

- 7606123000: Suitable for some 3004 aluminum-magnesium-manganese alloy color-coated coils.

2. Painted aluminum coil HS Codes by Specifications

Among all specifications, thickness is the key indicator affecting HS code classification. Different thickness ranges correspond to specific codes:

                       Specifications (Core: Thickness)Corresponding HS Code                                                                                                  Typical Examples
Ultra-thin (≤0.18mm, e.g., 0.022mm, 0.03mm)7607200000

Ultra-thin color-coated aluminum coils such as 0.026mm and 0.10mm.

Regular (0.2–1.6mm, e.g., 0.28mm, 0.3mm, 0.45mm)7606125900, 7606112900

- 7606125900: Mainstream specifications like 0.3mm, 1.0mm, and 1.2mm (most commonly declared).

- 7606112900: Also applicable to some 0.3mm coils.

Regular (0.2–1.6mm, e.g., 0.28mm, 0.3mm, 0.45mm)7606920000Color-coated aluminum coils exceeding 1.6mm in thickness (e.g., 2.0mm polyester-coated coils), typically used in scenarios requiring high strength.

3. Color aluminum coil HS Codes by Processing Technology & Surface Treatment

The primary processing technology for color-coated aluminum coils is roll coating, with surface treatments mainly including PVDF (fluorocarbon) and polyester coatings. While there is no absolute boundary between codes for different process-coating combinations, the following correspondences are widely accepted in declarations:

Processing Technology & Surface Treatment        Specific TypesCorresponding HS Code                                                         Declaration Key Points
Roll coating + Polyester coating (≥18μm thickness)Single-sided polyester coating, Double-sided polyester coating7606119900, 7606920000- 7606119900: For standard polyester-coated coils without special material/specification attributes.

- 7606920000: For thicker polyester-coated coils.

Roll coating + PVDF (fluorocarbon) coating (≥25μm thickness)Single-sided PVDF coating, Double-sided PVDF coating7606123000, 7606122000

PVDF coatings are high-performance and commonly used in building curtain walls. These codes apply to aluminum alloy color-coated coils with PVDF coatings; declare "PVDF coating" as a key attribute.

Roll coating + Special pattern treatment (wood grain, orange peel texture, etc.)Heat transfer wood grain roll coating, Embossed roll coating7606123000Applicable to coils with complex patterns (e.g., wood grain, orange peel). Specify the pattern processing method in declaration elements (e.g., "heat transfer wood grain").

Additional Note

For color-coated aluminum coils undergoing auxiliary processes such as chromate pretreatment or high-temperature curing, there is no need to change the core HS code. Simply supplement the auxiliary process details in the declaration elements— the core code remains determined by key attributes like material and thickness.



OUR ADVANTAGES

Smoothness

There is no residual stress on the surface and no deformation after shearing

Weather resistance

The paint pattern made by roller coating and high temperature baking has high gloss, good color stability and little color difference change

Decorative

There is a fresh natural beauty, the pattern is casual and do, give customers a wide range of personality choices, can enrich the culture of the product, give people more beautiful enjoyment.

Environmental Protection

Resistant to salt, alkali and acid rain corrosion, will not corrode or produce toxic bacteria, does not release any toxic gases.

Mechanical

ACP after composite with plastic and adhesive. With the flexural and flexural strength required by the decorative plate, in the four seasons climate, the change of wind pressure, temperature, humidity and other factors will not cause bending, deformation,expansion and so on.
