Aluminum Vanadium Master Alloy VAl60
This master alloy contains approximately 60% vanadium and the balance primarily aluminum, used to introduce vanadium into aluminum melts for titanium alloy production. It qualifies as an aluminum alloy under HTS 7601.20 because aluminum predominates by weight and the vanadium content exceeds alloying thresholds in chapter notes. Supplied in ingot or waffle form for metallurgical addition.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If vanadium content exceeds 50% and marketed primarily as vanadium source
High-vanadium products may shift to Chapter 81 for other base metals including vanadium, rather than aluminum alloys
If chemically prepared or containing additives beyond simple alloy
Prepared metal additives or master alloys with chemical treatments fall under chemical preparations in Chapter 38

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alloy composition certificate showing Al >99% minus V and V content to confirm 7601 classification; declare exact V percentage as customs may test; avoid misdeclaration as pure vanadium under Chapter 81
