Wire rods

Aluminium alloy wire rods, unwrought

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7601 20 40 (aluminium alloy wire rods, unwrought) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other unwrought aluminium and aluminium alloy forms within Chapter 76 — such as ingots, billets, or further-processed wrought products — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line turns on the product being correctly classified as unwrought aluminium alloy in wire rod form; downstream wrought aluminium wire, bars, or profiles within Chapter 76 attract separate tariff lines and may carry BIS Quality Control Order coverage. Customs re-classification — on the basis of degree of working, alloy composition, or intended end use — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending the relevant standard. Verify the technical specification, alloy designation, and product form against the customs tariff before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7601 20 40 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the aluminium alloy has been further worked into wire, bars, or profiles?

Wrought aluminium products are classified under separate headings within Chapter 76 and may attract BIS Quality Control Order compliance, making accurate classification of the product's degree of working the critical importer risk.
