Secondary Aluminum Alloy Ingots with Lead
Recycled aluminum alloy ingots produced from secondary aluminum scrap, containing at least 0.03% lead by weight, used primarily for casting in manufacturing. Classified under HTS 7601.20.9060 due to its alloy composition where aluminum predominates but includes lead exceeding the threshold for non-alloyed aluminum per chapter notes. These unwrought forms are not yet shaped into final products.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not alloyed and 99%+ pure aluminum
Pure unwrought aluminum without alloying elements like lead falls under non-alloyed headings per chapter note (a).
If secondary aluminum with less than 0.03% lead
Lower lead content shifts to other secondary aluminum alloy subheadings within the same hierarchy.
If considered aluminum waste or scrap
Unprocessed secondary aluminum scrap before remelting into ingots is classified as metal waste, not unwrought metal.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify lead content via certified lab analysis to confirm classification; provide recycling certificates for secondary aluminum origin
• Watch for misclassification as primary aluminum which has different duties
• Ensure material safety data sheets (MSDS) detail alloy composition and impurities
