Last updated: April 2026 dataSubject to Section 232 tariffs, aluminum flat-rolled products thicker than 0.2 mm are a foundational input for aerospace, automotive, construction, and packaging industries. The thickness threshold distinguishes this heading from aluminum foil and is critical for correct classification — mill-finish sheet, tread plate, and coiled strip all fall here if they exceed the 0.2 mm cutoff. Alloy designation (series 1xxx through 7xxx) and temper condition are the key specification variables that buyers and customs brokers must document at entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Products exceeding 0.2 mm in thickness classify as plates, sheets, or strip under this heading. Products at or below 0.2 mm are classified as foil. The measurement applies to the aluminum itself, excluding any backing material, so importers should confirm gauge specifications from mill certifications before filing entry.

Depending on the country of origin, additional antidumping or countervailing duty orders may also apply. Importers should verify the current order scope and any exclusion requests with a licensed customs broker before shipment.
