Aluminum Alloy Tubes and Pipes

$12.4MU.S. imports · April 2026HS 760820

U.S. imports of aluminum alloy tubes and pipes (HS 760820) totaled $12.4M in April 2026, traded with 38 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Aluminum alloy tubes and pipes — covering both seamless (7608200030) and non-seamless (7608200090) forms — are widely used in automotive heat exchangers, aerospace hydraulic lines, HVAC systems, and structural applications where the strength-to-weight advantage of alloy grades over commercially pure aluminum is required. Germany leads US import supply under this heading, followed by Mexico and South Korea, a supplier mix that reflects both European precision extrusion capability and North American supply-chain integration. Section 232 tariffs apply, and importers sourcing from Mexico may benefit from USMCA preferential treatment if rules-of-origin requirements are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions

What alloy series are most commonly traded under this heading, and does alloy designation affect classification?

The 6000-series (6061, 6063) and 2000/7000-series alloys are most common in traded aluminum alloy tube and pipe, used respectively in structural/architectural and aerospace applications. Alloy designation does not change the 6-digit heading classification — all aluminum alloy tubes and pipes fall under 7608.20 regardless of alloy series — but alloy certification on mill test reports is important for end-use compliance, quality verification, and scope determinations under any applicable antidumping orders.

How can importers verify USMCA eligibility for aluminum alloy tubes sourced from Mexico?

To claim USMCA preferential treatment, the importer must obtain a certification of origin from the Mexican producer or exporter confirming that the product meets the applicable tariff-shift or regional-value-content rule under the agreement. For aluminum tube, this typically requires that the alloy billet or the tube itself was produced in a USMCA territory. Importers should request supporting mill documentation and retain records for at least five years in case of a CBP audit.
