HSS Extrusion Die for Aluminum Profiles from Japan
A high-speed steel (HSS) die used in metal extrusion processes to form aluminum profiles like window frames by forcing billet through the die opening. It shapes molten or heated metal without cutting, classified under HTS 8207.30.60.62 as dies for extruding metal. Common in construction and architectural manufacturing.

Import Tips
• Certify material (e.g
• HSS grade) and extrusion pressure ratings for accurate HTS verification
• Declare as 'extrusion forming die' explicitly; avoid generic 'die' terms
• Watch for undervaluation claims; provide cost breakdowns for custom tooling
