Analysis
HTS 7601.10.60 covers aluminum, not alloyed: other under heading 7601 (unwrought aluminum). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.6%. Compared with 7601.20.30 (of uniform cross section throughout its length, the least…), which pays 2.6%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.6 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 9% of the 65 tariff lines in chapter 76, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
