6061 Aluminum Alloy Billet from Canada
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.

Import Tips
• 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
