Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If flake morphology for decorative coatings
Lamellar structure changes classification even if same purity.
If alloyed with rare earth elements
Predominance of other metals like magnesium classifies as other metal powders.
If dispersed in pigments for retail paints
Retail-ready paint products containing aluminum powder fall under chapter 32.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Supply laser diffraction PSD reports confirming D50 particle size for accurate description
• Label containers inert gas purged to prevent oxidation, common CBP inspection point
• Avoid generic 'metal powder' declarations; specify aluminum and non-lamellar explicitly
