Import Tips
• Verify aluminum purity certificate showing 99%+ Al and Fe+Si <0.1% to confirm non-alloyed status per chapter notes
• Provide mill test reports documenting exact composition to avoid reclassification as alloy under 7604.29
• Ensure bars exceed retail packaging thresholds; bulk shipments avoid 7616.99 duties
