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.
