Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed into waste forms post-remelting
Post-production residues classify separately from primary unwrought.
If containing >2% aluminum alloying
Aluminum-based alloys with beryllium shift to Chapter 76.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide BIS export license equivalents if sourced from controlled countries
• Document remelt process to prove unwrought status vs. forged products
• Test for oxide inclusions to prevent reclassification as impure scrap
