Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify alloy composition via mill test certificate to confirm aluminum predominates and meets subheading note (b) criteria

• Ensure thickness measurement is precise; plates ≤6.3 mm shift to other subheadings

• Declare exact alloy grade (e.g

• 6061) and temper to avoid misclassification penalties
