A356.1 Aluminum Alloy Ingot from China

A356.1 is a hypoeutectic aluminum-silicon alloy ingot used primarily for casting applications in automotive and aerospace industries. It contains approximately 7% silicon and 0.3% magnesium, making aluminum the predominant element by weight exceeding 90%, qualifying it as an aluminum alloy under chapter note (b). Classified under 7601.20.90.95 as unwrought aluminum alloy in other forms not specified elsewhere.

Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates confirming alloy composition meets chapter note (b) definitions to avoid reclassification as non-alloyed aluminum

Declare exact chemical analysis including silicon, magnesium, and iron content; discrepancies can lead to penalties or duty adjustments

Ensure ingots are free of impurities exceeding specified limits to prevent scrutiny under aluminum purity standards
