6061 Aluminum Alloy Billet from Japan

A cylindrical 6061 aluminum alloy billet with uniform circular cross section, used primarily for extrusion into profiles and shapes. It qualifies under HTS 7601.20.90.45 as an unwrought aluminum alloy billet not in coils, with aluminum predominating and alloying elements like magnesium and silicon exceeding pure aluminum limits. These billets are hot-worked or extruded precursors for manufacturing.

Import Tips

Verify alloy composition via mill certificates to confirm aluminum predominance and subheading compliance per chapter notes

Ensure billets are not in coils and have uniform circular cross-section; measure diameter consistency to avoid reclassification

Obtain proper documentation like chemical analysis reports to prevent customs holds on purity claims
