Frequently asked questions
What is the HS code for aluminium extrusions & profiles exported from India?
Aluminium Extrusions & Profiles is usually classified under HS 760429 (Bars, rods and profiles of aluminium alloys (other than hollow profiles)). Hollow profiles of aluminium alloy are 7604.21; fabricated structures (windows, frames) 7610; heat sinks may be classed by function.
Where is aluminium extrusions & profiles produced in India?
Main clusters: Odisha aluminium belt (Jharsuguda-Angul-Hirakud) - India's largest, Odisha; Chhattisgarh; UP; Gujarat (Mundra-Surat-Sanand) / Tamil Nadu, Gujarat (~45-47% of module capacity); Rajasthan; Tamil Nadu; Telangana; Karnataka.
Which documents are needed to export aluminium extrusions & profiles?
Commercial invoice, Packing list, Bill of lading / airway bill, Certificate of origin (preferential where an FTA applies), Mill test certificate (EN 10204 3.1), CBAM embedded-emissions data for EU, Coating test reports. Destination-specific registrations are listed on each market page.
Can you make our profile from a drawing?
Yes. A new die is made to your drawing (a one-time die cost), then trial extrusions are approved before bulk.
What does CBAM mean for profiles?
Aluminium profiles are CBAM goods. EU importers above the 50 t/yr threshold need embedded-emissions data from the producer and must buy certificates.
Do 6 m profiles fit in a 20' container?
No. A 20' box is about 5.9 m inside, so 6 m lengths need 40' containers.
