HTS code for aluminum pan: document aluminum, coating, and cookware use

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

An aluminum pan file needs cookware facts. The product may be a frying pan, saucepan, roasting pan, disposable foil pan, baking pan, grill pan, nonstick pan, or part of a cookware set. Cast, stamped, forged, anodized, and foil products should not be flattened into one label.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The file should show the pan as imported and identify coatings, handles, lids, and set contents.

quick answer

For "hts code for aluminum pan", collect pan type, aluminum construction, cast or stamped status, anodized or nonstick coating, diameter, capacity, handle material, lid, induction base, disposable or reusable use, origin, and supplier code.

A disposable aluminum foil pan is not the same file as a nonstick frying pan, hard-anodized saucepan, baking sheet, or pan-and-lid set. The construction and use should be documented.

facts to collect for an aluminum pan

Collect:

Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
Exterior, interior, base, handle, coating, lid, label, packaging, and set photos.
Article type: fry pan, saucepan, saute pan, baking pan, roasting pan, foil pan, grill pan, lid, or set.
Aluminum construction: cast, forged, stamped, sheet, foil, anodized, clad base, or unknown.
Coating: nonstick, ceramic, enamel, anodized finish, bare aluminum, painted exterior, or unknown.
Size, capacity, thickness, handle material, lid material, induction plate, and removable parts.
Disposable or reusable use and food-contact support.
Country of origin and production support.
Supplier HS or HTS code and source notes.

If the pan is disposable foil, record gauge and pack count. If it has a stainless induction base, list that material separately.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

Aluminum construction is unsupported.
Pan type is unclear.
Reusable versus disposable use is unclear.
Coating, handle, lid, or base details are missing.
Set contents are not listed.
Origin is assumed from shipment route.
Supplier code is unsupported.
Similar CBP CROSS rulings have not been checked.

These gaps can move the review between aluminum cookware, foil containers, baking pans, mixed-material cookware, lids, and sets.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the actual article: aluminum fry pan, saucepan, baking pan, foil pan, nonstick pan, hard-anodized pan, lid, or cookware set. Each row should cite a material or use fact.

Rejected alternatives should stay in the record. If it is not disposable because it has a handle and retail cookware packaging, say that. If it is not all aluminum because of a steel base, record the mixed material.

authority sources

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for aluminum cookware, foil pans, baking pans, nonstick pans, and cookware sets.

planning path

Start with construction and use. Then write a table for pan type, aluminum form, coating, size, handle, lid, origin, and supplier code. If the supplier uses "aluminum pan" for foil packaging, note that before code review.

Duty stack notes should include origin and aluminum-specific exposure tied to the candidate path.

questions importers ask

Can I use this page as the HTS code for an aluminum pan?

What if it is disposable foil?

Record disposable use, pack count, and foil construction before review.

planning boundary

This aluminum pan HTS page is a planning artifact. It is not an Entry Use classification, not a binding ruling, and not a legal opinion. The importer remains responsible for reasonable care and must obtain broker or customs authority review before filing.
