Analysis
Subheading 7601.20 covers aluminum alloys, within heading 7601. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 2.6%. The median line pays 2.1%.
The US splits it as follows: 7601.20.30 for of uniform cross section throughout its length, the least… (2.6%), 7601.20.60 for containing 25 percent or more by weight of silicon (2.1%) and 7601.20.90 for other: other (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Alumina Refining and Primary Aluminum Production (331313) and Secondary Smelting and Alloying of Aluminum (331314). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
