Aluminum-Lithium Alloy Slab
Aluminum-lithium alloy slabs in unwrought form, used for advanced aerospace structures. Even though lithium content is below 1%, the alloy meets the definition of an aluminum alloy because the total content of other elements exceeds 1% by weight.

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 the slabs are rolled to a uniform thickness and meet plate/sheet definitions
Rolled aluminum alloy products are classified under heading 7606, not as unwrought.
If the slabs are extruded or otherwise shaped into profiles
Profiles of aluminum alloys fall under heading 7604.

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
• Provide a certificate of analysis confirming the alloy composition, as the lithium content alone may not be sufficient for classification
• Verify that the slabs are not further worked (e.g
• machined or drilled) to remain unwrought
• Consider whether the slabs are for aerospace use, which may trigger other regulatory requirements
