High-Silicon Aluminum Notch Bar from Mexico
Notch-bar form of aluminum alloy containing 27% silicon by weight, suitable only for remelting into castings. Classified as unwrought under 7601.20.60.00 because it retains the characteristics of freshly cast metal with specific high silicon content. Commonly used in gravity die casting for industrial components.

Import Tips
• Document notched shape as standard unwrought formcasting alloys to prevent 7604 misclassification; test for exact Si content; ensure no surface treatments that imply further working
