7605.29 Aluminium; alloys, wire, maximum cross-sectional dimension is 7mm or less
A full HS code. These six digits are what goes on a customs declaration, and they mean the same thing in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
Section XV, Base Metals — iron, steel, copper, aluminium, other base metals and articles thereof.
- 76 Chapter Aluminium and articles thereof
- 05 Heading Aluminium wire
- 29 Subheading Aluminium; alloys, wire, maximum cross-sectional dimension is 7mm or less
Chapter 76 covers aluminium and articles thereof: primary aluminium, alloys, sheet, foil, wire and finished aluminium goods, one of the largest non-ferrous metal chapters given aluminium's use across packaging, construction and transport. Classification tip: As with steel, aluminium extrusions and sheet are common anti-dumping/countervailing duty targets in major markets, so verify trade-remedy status for the specific alloy and origin before shipping.

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.
Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.
Shipping goods under 7605.29? A customs hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving — follow the container or the air waybill from departure to delivery.

7605.29 covers aluminium; alloys, wire, maximum cross-sectional dimension is 7mm or less. It sits under heading 76.05 (aluminium wire) in chapter 76, Section XV of the Harmonized System.
It is the international part of it. Six digits are the same in every country that applies the Harmonized System; the importing country then extends them to eight or ten for its own tariff and statistics. Declare 7605.29 plus whatever national digits the destination’s tariff schedule adds to it.
The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section XV and to chapter 76. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.
A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
