More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloying elements are added to exceed non-alloyed thresholds
Alloyed aluminum billets are classified under the aluminum alloys subheading.
If billets have been extruded into profiles
Extruded aluminum products are classified as profiles, not unwrought aluminum.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the billets are in unwrought form—simply cut to length for shipping—and have not been extruded or forged
• Maintain documentation showing primary smelting origin and purity analysis
• Note that billets intended for extrusion are still unwrought if not yet processed
