Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloyed for extrusion billets
Alloy billets have intentional additions exceeding non-alloyed limits, per note (b)(ii).
If shaped as rectangular slab ≥12.7cm wide/thick
Slabs for rolling have dedicated subheading; billets are circular/other shapes.
If still containing >10% aluminum oxide slag
Unwrought requires refined Al metal; impure residues classify as aluminum dross/scrap.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use spectrographic analysis reports to prove non-alloyed status; CBP often audits primary vs secondary Al
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'alloy' due to minor Si/Fe—stay under 0.1% combined
• For billets >6mm cross-section, confirm unwrought via no rolling/extrusion processing
