Notes for this line
- AD/CVD undetermined: estimate incomplete. Calculated duties are provisional. Check the listed cases and enter the producer/exporter to calculate a deposit where verified supplier rates are available. Unresolved deposits may change the total.
- UFLPA: aluminum from China can be detained at the border: Under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, CBP presumes that goods made wholly or in part in Xinjiang, or by companies on the UFLPA Entity List, were made with forced labor and bars them from entry unless the importer proves otherwise with clear and convincing evidence. DHS lists "aluminum" among its high-priority sectors for enforcement. Before you ship, be ready to trace the inputs to their source, or the shipment can be held. This is not a duty and is not in the estimate.

- Section 301 China tariff (List 4A) adds 7.5% to this product.
- Section 232 Aluminum (Derivative) tariff adds 50%.
- Antidumping/Countervailing Duty (A-570-967) adds 93.38% (AD 86.01% + CVD 7.37%) for Aluminum Extrusions (Structures).
- AD/CVD applies by written product scope, not by HTS code β the HTS numbers in a Commerce order are listed for convenience only. Finished goods assembled from covered inputs are often excluded, and rates are exporter-specific, so the calculated amount is provisional and may be too high or too low. Confirm your scope and your supplier's cash-deposit rate with your customs broker before relying on it.
- Section 301 forced labor does not apply to this line: Exempt: article is already subject to Section 232 duties (9903.05.90, U.S. note 52).
