How to Respond When Customs Questions an Aluminium Profile Alloy Code

When customs asks about the alloy code for an aluminium profile, the first step is to distinguish the material specification from the customs classification. The available product information identifies this Gola profile as aluminium alloy 6063 T5. However, it does not provide an HS code, tariff heading, or country-specific customs code.

Provide customs with the verified product description, technical specification, and complete shipment documentation. You should also request written guidance from the relevant customs authority or appointed broker and ask MEBEL-ALU ALUMINIUM to confirm the product details before declaring or changing any code.

Key Steps for Resolving the Question

• Identify the product as an aluminium Gola profile designed for handleless kitchen applications.
• State the supplied material grade as aluminium alloy 6063 T5.
• Keep the material grade separate from the HS or tariff classification.
• Submit the commercial invoice, packing list, transport documents, and available technical information.
• Obtain written confirmation before filing an amended declaration or replacing a code shown on shipping documents.

Material Grade and Customs Classification Are Different

The designation 6063 T5 describes the aluminium alloy and temper recorded for the product. It is a technical material specification, not automatically a customs tariff code. The supplied product record does not identify an HS number, national tariff code, or official customs ruling.

If customs questions the profile alloy code, explain the intended application and provide the exact product name: an aluminium Gola profile used in handleless kitchen systems. Ask customs which additional evidence is needed and retain its written response in the shipment file.

Do not create or guess a classification code based only on the 6063 T5 designation. If a different code appears on an invoice, packing list, broker entry, or previous declaration, compare that entry with the technical specification and seek clarification from the supplier and customs broker before submitting a correction.

Technical and Commercial Information to Prepare

Mebel-Alu Furniture Profile (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd identifies its business as an aluminium furniture profile supplier. Its stated capabilities include aluminium extrusion, anodizing, brushing, mechanical polishing, and CNC machining. This information may help provide customs with an accurate description of the profile's manufacture and surface treatment when such details are requested.

The company lists FOB as its business model, a minimum order quantity of 12,000 KG, and a stated delivery period of 40 days. Rail, maritime, and container transportation are also listed as available shipping methods. These details must be checked against the actual transaction documents because shipping terms and logistics arrangements do not determine the customs classification.

The supplier also lists an Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certificate and a Quality Management System Certificate. Such documents may support the supplier's background when requested, but they do not substitute for a classification decision issued by customs or an authorized broker.
