Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloying elements are present above non-alloyed thresholds
Alloyed aluminum is classified separately from non-alloyed aluminum.
If the metal has been rolled into plates or sheets

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the skimmed metal has not been processed beyond de-scaling or surface cleaning, which preserves unwrought status
• Provide purity certificates showing compliance with non-alloyed limits
• Be aware that further processing like rolling or forging would change classification
