WHAT TO DO (OUR GUIDANCE, NOT LEGAL ADVICE)
Identify imported aluminum and derivative aluminum SKUs covered by the listed proclamations and Annex I, including whether non-Chapter 76 items have reportable aluminum content. For entries on or after March 12, 2025, check country, smelt and cast information, Russian content, and any remaining product exclusion volume or expiration before quoting or entering goods.
