Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Provide engineering drawings showing profile cross-section to confirm it's not a simple rod

โ€ข Label with alloy type and temper (e.g

โ€ข T6) for customs valuation and origin verification

โ€ข Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing based on unfinished state; declare as profiles even if cut to length

6063-T5 Aluminum Window Profile

An extruded aluminum alloy profile made from 6063-T5 grade material, commonly used for window frames in residential and commercial buildings. It falls under HTS 7604.29.10 as it is an aluminum alloy profile, not hollow, with aluminum predominating by weight and alloying elements exceeding non-alloyed purity limits. These profiles are shaped for structural support and glazing.

6061-T6 Aluminum I-Beam Profile

A structural I-beam profile extruded from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, used in lightweight framing for machinery and architectural applications. Classified under HTS 7604.29.10 due to its alloy composition where aluminum predominates but iron, silicon, and magnesium exceed non-alloyed limits, and its profiled shape distinguishes it from bars.

T-Slot Aluminum Extrusion Profile

Modular T-slot profiles from 6063 aluminum alloy used in framing systems for workstations, machine guards, and exhibits. HTS 7604.29.10 applies as these are alloy profiles with distinctive T-shaped slots, aluminum-dominant but alloyed beyond purity thresholds.

6061 Aluminum Angle Profile

L-shaped angle profiles extruded from 6061 alloy, used in construction bracketing and reinforcement. Under HTS 7604.29.10 as alloy profiles with angular cross-section, aluminum predominant with alloy elements like magnesium.
