U.S. exports of Aluminum Alloy Tubes and Pipes (HS 760820) totaled $25.2M in August 2026.
Importers of Aluminum Alloy Tubes and Pipes paid $7.0M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 53.30% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAluminum 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.

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.
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.
