U.S. imports of unwrought aluminum alloys (HS 760120) totaled $288.3M in April 2026, traded with 24 countries.
Importers of Unwrought Aluminum Alloys paid $135.2M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $270.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Unwrought Aluminum Alloys imports of $288.3M in April 2026 ran 20% below the year-to-date monthly average of $362.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataUnwrought aluminum alloys — covering everything from silicon-rich casting alloys to sheet ingot, foundry ingot, and remelt scrap ingot — are the primary feedstock for automotive castings, aerospace billet, and rolled sheet production. The US schedule is unusually granular: dedicated lines cover alloys with at least 25% silicon content (7601206000), vanadium master alloy (7601209030), lead-bearing alloys (7601209060), remelt scrap ingot (7601209075), sheet ingot (7601209080), and foundry ingot (7601209085), reflecting the commercial importance of distinguishing alloy families at entry. Canada dominates supply, with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain also significant — both Gulf producers operate large, energy-cost-advantaged smelters. All imports are subject to Section 232 tariffs, and the correct 10-digit line depends on alloy composition and product form as documented by the supplier.

The US schedule provides distinct statistical lines: 7601209080 for sheet ingot (flat, rectangular cross-section intended for rolling), 7601209085 for foundry ingot (intended for remelting into castings), and 7601209045 for uniform cross-section billets not in coil form. The supplier's product specification and intended downstream use are the primary classification guides, but the definitions in the relevant statistical notes to Chapter 76 govern. A customs broker familiar with aluminum trade should review the product form and alloy designation before entry.
Bahrain hosts Alba (Aluminium Bahrain), one of the world's largest single-site aluminum smelters, which benefits from low-cost energy and has invested in value-added alloying capabilities. Its geographic position and smelter scale allow it to supply large volumes of specific alloy grades competitively, making it a meaningful source for US buyers seeking to diversify away from Canadian supply, though Section 232 tariff exposure applies regardless of origin.
