Product description and applications

CN code 760310 covers aluminium powders of non-lamellar structure, principally atomised aluminium powder produced by disintegrating molten aluminium with a high-pressure gas or water jet. The resulting particles are approximately spherical or irregular in shape, with particle size typically ranging from a few to several hundred micrometres and a narrow particle size distribution. Non-lamellar aluminium powders are used in powder metallurgy including sintering and hot isostatic pressing (HIP), additive manufacturing (SLM, DMLS), pyrotechnics and explosives, metallic pigments when further processed, solid propellants, thermite compositions and as reducing agents in extractive metallurgy. The distinction between non-lamellar powder (760310) and lamellar or flake powder (760320) is based on particle morphology confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or laser diffraction shape analysis. Additive manufacturing applications demand especially stringent controls on purity, particle size distribution and sphericity.

Import regulations, CBAM and export controls

Aluminium powders, in particular fine fractions below 200 micrometres, may be subject to export controls under Regulation (EU) 2021/821 on dual-use items. These goods are listed in Annex I of the regulation in the category relating to propellants and pyrotechnic materials. Export from the EU or import for military or dual-use purposes requires a licence from the competent national authority. Importers should verify whether the country of origin is subject to an arms embargo or dual-use export restrictions that could affect the legality of the transaction. Aluminium powders are within the scope of CBAM from 1 January 2026, obliging importers to obtain embedded emissions data from the foreign producer and purchase the corresponding number of CBAM certificates. Standard customs documentation must be supplemented by a certificate of analysis and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) in compliance with REACH.

Safety requirements and ADR/IMDG classification

Non-lamellar aluminium powder is a flammable solid and, depending on particle size, may also be classified as a self-heating or water-reactive substance. For transport purposes it is classified under ADR/RID (road and rail transport) and IMDG (maritime transport) as Class 4.1 (flammable solids) or Class 4.3 (substances which in contact with water emit flammable gases) for very fine fractions. Packaging must meet UN requirements for the applicable packing group. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) compliant with Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH) is mandatory for each delivery. Customs authorities may request the SDS and verify consistency of the declared particle size with product documentation. Warehouse storage requires adequate ventilation, electrostatic bonding and grounding, and segregation from oxidising agents and moisture.

CBAM and environmental requirements for aluminium (CN 7603 10)

Aluminium classified under CN code 7603 10 (non-lamellar aluminium powders) may be subject to the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). From 2026, importers of unwrought aluminium must purchase CBAM certificates corresponding to CO2 emissions in the production process. Additionally, aluminium products must comply with REACH Regulation requirements and may be subject to restrictions on hazardous substances. Customs authorities verify environmental documentation during clearance. Aluminium recycling is particularly significant as secondary aluminium uses 95% less energy than primary.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between non-lamellar (760310) and lamellar (760320) aluminium powder?
The distinction lies in particle morphology. Non-lamellar powder (760310), including atomised grades, consists of particles that are approximately spherical or irregular without a pronounced flat shape. Lamellar or flake powder (760320) is produced by ball milling and comprises very thin platelet-shaped particles with a high aspect ratio of diameter to thickness. Correct classification requires particle shape analysis - customs authorities may request SEM micrographs or laser diffraction reports as evidence in a classification procedure.
Is aluminium powder subject to dual-use export control regulations?
Yes, aluminium powders of certain particle sizes and purities can be classified as dual-use goods under Regulation (EU) 2021/821. This applies in particular to fine powders used in explosives, rocket propellants and pyrotechnic compositions. Export of such powders from the EU requires a licence from the competent national authority. Importers should also verify whether the import from a third country complies with national strategic goods legislation applicable in the member state of import.
What documents are required for customs clearance of aluminium powder?
Required documents include: the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of chemical and particle size analysis from the manufacturer or an independent laboratory, Safety Data Sheet (SDS) compliant with REACH, and where applicable a copy of the dual-use export licence. For CBAM purposes, embedded emissions data from the foreign producer expressed in tonnes of CO2 per tonne of product are also required. Customs authorities may take samples for identification testing, particularly where the declared particle size fraction is relevant for tariff classification or dual-use control purposes.
Are non-lamellar aluminium powders under CN 7603 10 subject to anti-dumping duties?
The applicability of anti-dumping duties for CN code 7603 10 depends on current EU regulations and the country of origin. Anti-dumping duties are imposed on specific products from designated countries. The current status can be verified in the.
