U.S. exports of aluminum powders of lamellar structure (flakes) (HS 760320) totaled $5.3M in July 2026.
Importers of Aluminum Powders of Lamellar Structure (Flakes) paid $94K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $657K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Aluminum Powders of Lamellar Structure (Flakes) imports of $657K in July 2026 ran 10% below the year-to-date monthly average of $732K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataProduced by ball-milling rather than atomization, lamellar aluminum flakes have a high aspect ratio that makes them the standard pigment base for metallic paints, inks, and decorative coatings. Germany and Austria together dominate US import supply, reflecting Europe's deep specialty-pigment manufacturing base; China and India are also significant sources. Imports enter under 7603200000 and are subject to Section 232 tariffs, making supplier diversification and exclusion monitoring a routine concern for coatings formulators.

56 shipments/mo
A manufacturer's technical data sheet specifying particle morphology, production method (milling vs. atomization), and aspect ratio is the most reliable supporting document. Microscopy images or a certificate of analysis referencing flake geometry can also be presented to CBP if classification is questioned.
The primary consumers are coatings and inks manufacturers who use lamellar flake as a metallic pigment, as well as producers of thermally reflective coatings, plastics masterbatch, and certain pyrotechnic compositions. The flat platelet geometry is specifically required for the leafing and non-leafing effects in decorative and functional coatings.
