Last updated: April 2026 dataBauxite ore, alumina (aluminum oxide), and unwrought and fabricated aluminum products are grouped here, spanning the full upstream-to-downstream supply chain for the aluminum industry. Alumina — the intermediate calcined product refined from bauxite before smelting — is the most traded form by value within the ore-and-oxide segment. Section 232 tariffs apply to aluminum articles, and importers should confirm whether specific product forms and origins are covered or subject to approved exclusions.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Bauxite is the raw ore classified under HTS Chapter 26; alumina (aluminum oxide) is the calcined intermediate classified under Chapter 28; and unwrought aluminum (ingot, billet, T-bar) falls under Chapter 76. Each stage carries distinct duty treatment and, for aluminum articles, potentially different Section 232 exposure.
Section 232 aluminum tariffs target 'aluminum articles' as defined in the relevant proclamation, which generally covers unwrought aluminum, flat-rolled products, extrusions, and similar fabricated forms. Raw bauxite ore and alumina are typically outside the Section 232 aluminum article definition, but importers should verify the current scope with a licensed customs broker, as proclamation annexes have been amended over time.
