Secondary Aluminum Alloy Ingots with Lead from China
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.

• Watch for misclassification as primary aluminum which has different duties
• Ensure material safety data sheets (MSDS) detail alloy composition and impurities
