HTS heading 7616 is a broad four-digit category for “other articles of aluminum.” It groups finished aluminum goods that are not more specifically described elsewhere in Chapter 76 or in another HTS heading. Examples may include certain aluminum fasteners and other miscellaneous aluminum articles, depending on their design and use.
To reach the correct eight-digit subheading, start with the product’s objective characteristics: what it is, how it is made, its intended use, and whether it is a fastener or another type of article. The lower-level code may distinguish the article by type, construction, or function—not simply by the fact that it is made of aluminum. Check the complete tariff text, section and chapter notes, and any applicable classification guidance before relying on a code.
What to check
- Describe the product precisely, including dimensions, shape, manufacturing process, principal use, and whether it is assembled with other materials.
- Check whether another HTS heading describes the item more specifically before using heading 7616; a product’s material alone does not determine classification.
- Within heading 7616, compare the provisions for aluminum fasteners with the provisions for other articles, then continue to the eight-digit level.
- Review Chapter 76 notes and the full wording of each candidate subheading, including exclusions and any required technical characteristics.
- Confirm the classification with official HTS materials or a qualified customs broker when the product has multiple functions, mixed materials, or an unusual design.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.

| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 7616.10 | Nails, tacks, staples (other than those of heading 8305), screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter pins, washers and similar articles |
