Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specifically enumerated as aircraft forgings
Certain aircraft-specific aluminum forgings have dedicated statistical suffixes within the forgings heading.
If imported as extruded aluminum profiles instead of forged
Extruded shapes use different manufacturing process and classify under aluminum plate/sheet/extrusion headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include aerospace material specifications (e.g
• AMS standards) and forging quality certificates to support classification and FAA compliance
• Ensure proper marking of forgings as 'not for aircraft use' if applicable, or provide end-use certification to avoid ITAR restrictions
• Document heat treatment status; quenched and tempered forgings remain classified here until fully machined
