Import Tips & Compliance
• Include a certificate of analysis for the aluminum alloy
• Verify the cross-section is not a simple geometric shape with uniform wall thickness; if it is, it may be classified as a tube under 7608.20.00
• Consider whether the goods are for window framing and if any building code certifications are required
