U.S. imports of aluminum & aluminum alloy bars, rods & profiles (SITC 68421) totaled $110.3M in April 2026, traded with 74 countries.
Importers of Aluminum & Aluminum Alloy Bars, Rods & Profiles paid $53.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 51% on $104.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataExtruded and drawn aluminum bars, rods, and profiles are among the most widely traded aluminum semi-finished products, serving construction, transportation, and industrial equipment sectors with shapes ranging from simple rounds to complex architectural extrusions. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions from multiple countries have made origin verification and scope analysis a routine compliance task for importers of profiles. The scope of existing trade-remedy orders can be highly technical — covering specific alloy series, tempers, and cross-sectional configurations — so importers should conduct a scope review before committing to a supply source.

Existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions cover a broad range of profiles, bars, and rods from certain countries. The scope is defined by alloy series, temper, and the fact that the product is produced by an extrusion process — not by rolling or drawing. Importers must assess whether their specific product falls within the order scope, and if so, whether a scope ruling or exclusion applies. Misclassifying a covered product to avoid AD/CVD exposure carries significant penalty risk.
Profiles under this heading are solid or hollow cross-sections produced by extrusion or drawing, where the cross-section is uniform along the length. Structural shapes (such as angles, channels, and I-beams) may overlap with profiles depending on their production method and cross-section. The key classification question is whether the article is produced by extrusion (pointing toward profiles) or by rolling (which may direct it to a flat-product or structural-shape heading). CBP binding rulings are available when the distinction is unclear.
