Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the rod's diameter and cross-section shape are uniform along its length to meet the bar/rod definition
• Keep documentation showing the aluminum content is at least 99% to avoid reclassification as an alloy
• If the rod is cut to length for shipping, it still qualifies as unwrought or as a bar, but avoid any additional processing
