Lead-Contaminated Recycled Aluminum Billets
Cylindrical billets made from secondary aluminum alloys with 0.03% or more lead, intended for extrusion into profiles. This unwrought form fits HTS 7601.20.9060 as it meets aluminum alloy definition in chapter note (b) and specifies secondary origin with lead impurity. Primarily used in automotive and construction industries.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If extruded into bars or rods
Once processed into wrought shapes like bars over 7mm thick, it moves from unwrought Chapter 76 to wrought forms.
If primary aluminum alloys with lead
Non-secondary (virgin) origin with same lead content uses a different statistical suffix.
If iron predominates in alloy
Material composition shifts to iron/steel chapter if aluminum does not predominate by weight.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct spectrometry testing to document exact lead percentage for customs declaration
• Declare as secondary to avoid higher duties on primary billets
• Comply with EPA recycling import rules if from certain origins
