Primary Aluminum Billet 99.7% Purity
Unwrought cylindrical aluminum billets produced from primary smelting with 99.7% Al content, intended for extrusion into profiles. Falls under 7601.10.60.90 as not alloyed (impurities within note (a) limits) and not qualifying as standard ingots or slabs.

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
