Clad Aluminum Heat Exchanger Plate from Germany

A rectangular aluminum plate exceeding 0.2 mm thickness, clad with a thin layer of corrosion-resistant metal on one or both sides, used in heat exchangers for automotive radiators. It is classified under HTS 7606.91.60 as unalloyed aluminum plate that is clad, distinguishing it from non-clad plates in 7606.91.30. The cladding enhances durability in harsh thermal environments.

Import Tips

Verify aluminum purity meets 'not alloyed' definition (≥99% Al, Fe+Si ≤0.1%) via mill test certificates to avoid reclassification

Document cladding process and thickness (>0.2mm) with technical specs; common pitfall is mismeasuring as strip if width/thickness ratio exceeds norms

Ensure origin certification for preferential tariffs; clad plates often face AD/CVD scrutiny from specific countries
