7075-T6 Aluminum Alloy Plate from Japan
A high-strength heat-treatable 7075-T6 aluminum alloy plate exceeding 0.2 mm thickness, rectangular in shape, and more than 6.3 mm thick, not clad. It falls under HTS 7606.12.3015 as it matches statistical note 6 alloys used in aerospace for its superior strength-to-weight ratio after heat treatment.

Import Tips
• Verify alloy composition meets statistical note 6 criteria with mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Ensure thickness documentation exceeds 6.3 mm; common pitfall is mismeasuring clad vs non-clad
• Obtain aerospace end-use letters if applicable for duty exemptions or quotas
