6061 Aluminum Alloy Billet
6061 aluminum alloy billets are cylindrical unwrought forms used for extrusion into profiles and tubes in construction and transportation sectors. With 0.8-1.2% magnesium, 0.4-0.8% silicon, and 0.2-0.7% copper, it qualifies as an alloy where aluminum predominates but other elements exceed 1% total. Falls under 7601.20.90 as other unwrought aluminum alloys.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in crude form like notched bars or sticks
Certain crude unwrought alloy forms like notched bars are specifically under 7601.20.30, while machined billets go to .90.
If extruded or drawn into hollow profiles
Once extruded into bars, rods, or profiles, it becomes a wrought aluminum product under heading 7604.
If considered aluminum waste or scrap
Low-value or contaminated alloy material may be classified as aluminum waste/scrap in Chapter 26 rather than unwrought metal.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Require supplier certificates specifying exact alloy designation and composition to meet subheading note (b) criteria for aluminum alloys
• Declare as 'unwrought billets' distinctly from bars or rods to avoid erroneous classification under 7604 wrought forms
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain 6061 billets from specific countries; check Commerce Department scopes
