Last updated: April 2026 dataUnwrought magnesium — ingots, billets, and similar primary forms — is a critical input for aluminum alloying, die casting, and lightweight automotive and aerospace components. Imports have historically been subject to antidumping duty orders, making country-of-origin documentation and scope rulings a recurring compliance focus for buyers. Classifying magnesium correctly as unwrought versus wrought or alloyed is essential, since the distinction drives both duty treatment and any applicable trade-remedy exposure.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Unwrought magnesium covers primary forms such as ingots, slabs, and billets that have not been mechanically worked beyond casting. Once the metal is rolled, extruded, drawn, or otherwise mechanically shaped, it moves to a different classification. Importers should confirm the exact form with their supplier's mill certificate and consult a licensed customs broker when the product is near the boundary.
Yes. Antidumping duty orders have been in place on unwrought magnesium from certain origins for many years. Importers must verify whether the specific country of origin and product form fall within the scope of any active order, as scope rulings can be narrow and fact-specific.
