7075 Aluminum Alloy Slab from Canada
7075 slabs are unwrought high-strength aluminum-zinc alloy plates used in aircraft structural components. Composition includes 5.6-6.1% zinc, 2.1-2.5% magnesium, and 1.2-2.0% copper, clearly an alloy under chapter note (b)(ii) due to total other elements >1%. Imported under 7601.20.90.95 for other unwrought alloy forms.

Import Tips
• Aerospace alloys require enhanced documentation like FAA-equivalent certifications; prepare for additional CBP scrutiny
• Verify slab flatness and surface condition in manifests—excessive processing may reclassify as semi-finished
• Use precise weight declarations; overweight shipments often face valuation disputes
