Import Tips
• Verify alloy composition meets aluminum alloy definition (Al > other elements, total others >1%) via mill certificates to confirm Chapter 76 classification
• Provide forging process documentation; distinguish from castings which fall under 7616.99.41 to avoid misclassification
• Check for anti-dumping duties on aluminum extrusions or forgings from specific countries like China
